Why We Worry About Others More Than Ourselves
Dr. Art Markman is the guy to go to when you want to know what is going on in your head. Today he talks with us about why we tend to worry more about others than ourselves. When it comes to our own safety and well-being, we sometimes put it on the back burner. However, our family members, significant others, and people we love dearly, we can put more worry and fear into their safety and well-being. Why is this?

Dr. Markman talks about the psychology that goes on in our brains when we feel that worry toward our loved ones. The anxiety and worry we feel for others is far greater than for ourselves, and you can read all about the science in his article here.
