I consider myself to sometimes particular or ocd in my own way, but I wouldn’t categorize it as anxious… Curious how yall deal with anxious people.

Like when someone is always anxious, negative, high maintenance, complaining, it literally gives me anxiety. I think it’s the ick, as in please keep that vibe as far away from me as possible. So tell me, how do yall deal with overly anxious people?

Obviously this doesn’t apply to this forum, where being overly anxious is not only appropriate but an expectation. What’s a volnation without its worry circle amiright…

I'd probably cash it out. 8x return. May let it ride a little and do a live cash out if it starts to crash. I usually cash out if they offer at least half the payout. Are they big underdogs the rest of the way or something?

Would you bet $160 to win $550 on this?

Good way to look at it. Another way to look at it: would you bet $29 to win $100?

Having dealt with people of all makes and models in sales. And having some anxiety in past. I think it's good to ask questions.

Questions establish common ground, take people out of that anxiety mode, and get them doing what they love, talking. About themselves.

Not in a sense that you're trying to fix. Perhaps to understand why. You understanding might help you empathize. If the energy vampire kicks off, just walk away.

Scripture — Psalm 136:1–3 (NIV)
“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods.
His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever.”

Reflection:
Psalm 136 repeats one truth again and again:
“His love endures forever.”
Not temporarily.
Not conditionally.
Not only when life feels stable.
Forever.

The psalm begins with thanksgiving, but it roots that thanksgiving in God’s character — not our circumstances. God is still good when life is clear, and He is still good when life feels uncertain or heavy.

“God of gods” and “Lord of lords” reminds us that nothing outranks Him. No pressure, fear, responsibility, or situation sits above His authority.

And yet the defining trait repeated here is not power alone — it is enduring love.
Steady love.
Patient love.
Unfailing love.

Sometimes gratitude grows most when we stop measuring God by the moment and start remembering His consistency across every season.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for Your enduring love. When my thoughts become consumed by problems, responsibilities, or uncertainty, help me remember that Your goodness does not change. Thank You that Your love is steady even when my emotions are not. Teach me to live with gratitude rooted in who You are rather than in temporary circumstances. Remind me today that the Lord of lords is also the God who stays near, remains faithful, and never stops loving His people. Amen.

Good point. How do you effectively do this when they live with you? She started to recognize when I wasn’t actually paying attention/listening.

Honestly, if you’re talking about someone you care about, finding a good counselor is a good idea. That person should consider one to help them walk through their anxiety, and you should see one to gain some understanding of what the person is dealing with. I assume this is a girlfriend/spouse. It’s worth investing the effort in those relationships.
