Can u keep going with a what if popping up here and there? Is it possible to just disregard the what if's and keep going with anything?
i what if at almost everything just to weigh the positives and negatives of every step i take. Although i hate uncertainty and surprises i acknowledge that life is not everything we predict it is.
But in a relationship, can someone really just go along with everything without stopping to say what if ? what if i didnt do this? what if this happens? what if anything.
And does it annoy you to hear your significant other question and say what if?
Are we just supposed to live with the what if's that we all consider at some point or other?

It's normal to think of "what if....." in any aspect of your life, not necessarily a relationship.. but whenever that happens, think of: "what if I didn't have what I have now".. you'll get to appreciate what you have now and think less of "what if's".

I never think about the "What if" factor while i'm on action in everyday life. I think about it before I sleep and start wondering about all different possibilities using the "What if" factor.

The worst part is when u decide to take a step and do something and thing what if i REGRET this, urgh it eats me up. i do get over it but the thought is just irritating.
endure whisper realising what u have instead of ''what if-ing'' does help sometimes. but it cant alter decision making i think .. ;s

you don't know how much "what if's" annoy me:XD: LOOOOL it's usually in a negative way...if it's in a positive way and we say "what if.." and say something cool or whatever..then yeah.

I think you should go about it in a logical way. It's useless thinking "what if", if it is not likely to happen. However, you can make it productive. Think "what if I don't do this", then the answer would be X. Think "what if I do do this" and the answer would be Y. Then weigh which answer is better, choose between the two and get on with your life! There is no use thinking what if all along the way. I don't do it much unless I have to make a decision and that is when "what ifs" come into play.

Otherwise, learn to take life as it really is and you will be less tormented by possibilities.

I never think "what if". I just go with the flow, do what I want/need to do, then deal with the results. I think if you're constantly thinking "what if" you'll miss out on all the good things that are happening right then and there because you're so preoccupied with what's going on in your mind.

I guess the most common would be: What if we broke up, would we still be friends? :p

Alot of what if's stop me from doing alot of things my emotions would want me to do..and then I dont know if I should have went on with what my heart wanted or if I'm better off believing in my what if's.
