Imagining worst-case scenarios and coping
What type(s) would you associate with this:
I sometimes find myself imaging horrible scenarios and picturing myself in them wondering how I would cope. For example, the house burns down- I lose everything. I become seriously ill and only have a few months to live. Everyone in my immediate family dies in a crash except for me.
I’ve by no means have a death wish and I’m not exactly what you would call a morbid person. Most of my thoughts aren’t this morbid but sometimes I will think these things. My motivation behind it is that by thinking through the most difficult situations and imagining how I would cope gives me some sense of peace of mind if I have a ‘plan’ in case such events were to happen. I want to feel like no matter what comes my way in life I am equipped to handle it. Do other people do this? I could see it as Ni perhaps, enneagram 6 or SP instinct.
