    I have a very anxious friend that over prepares for everything. If anything goes wrong even slightly she has a total meltdown and starts arguments with everyone around her. Takes days to calm down.

    Another friend of mine is far more optimistic in planning. If things go wrong they stay calm and are able to endure inconvenience or physical discomfort for a while. They are hopeful even when everything falls apart.

    The first is filled with fear of their own emotions and unable to name and process them. The second is far better at feeling, naming, expressing, and processing their emotions.
