People tend to ask what’s the worst that can happen when they don’t have to directly deal with that worst outcome.

I have clinical anxiety; it’s part of my mental health conditions but managed with medication and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Ask me about the worst case scenario and you’ll hear things you’ve never dreamed of before. I can (and have) extrapolate a faulty laptop charger into a full blown business crisis if you want.

Make sure that you listen to people who can explain the downsides – it’ll keep you honest.
