@aza holmes You're welcome. 🙂 It's completely understandable. Maybe it was OCD, or maybe it was something else. Or maybe even reading or hearing bad news is a trigger for you. Hearing about kidnappings or things of that nature pushes you to this issue. With those techniques, you can make progress, but if you see that you can't do it by yourself, you can consider therapy. Any small step you take is important, and try to see silver linings and positive things. I searched and found some books, but I've never read them. You can read a summary and decide for yourself if they're suitable for you. I read in your profile that you're interested in books. 1.

Zak- While this book focuses on trust in organizational settings, it provides valuable insights into the nature of trust, which can be applied to personal relationships. 2.
