How to use "Worried" in context?
Everyone worries from time to time. It's a normal, human behavior that can be difficult to control. But, worrying can actually have negative consequences if it's done constantly or if it's caused by trivial concerns. Worrying can lead to tension and stress, and can also decrease the quality of life by preventing people from enjoying activities they enjoy.
Worrying can also be a sign that something is wrong. If something worries you, it might be worth taking the time to figure out what's causing the worry and whether it really warrants your attention.
