Lynn Toler Instagram – I am the queen of panic. Don’t let some one small thing go wrong, I will jump scream, bolt and carry on. Back in the day people could watch me as I flailed about. Now I do most of that in my head. Regular folk tend not to understand the workings of the chronically concerned mind. I was telling someone at the airport about my fear of flying, once. He then regaled me with statistics about car vs. aircraft fatalities. I said “all of that is well and good but I am afraid of driving too. I may not be brave but I’m consistent.” It used to annoy me when people would address my fears with logic. One thing has nothing to do with the other. They were never giving information I didn’t already have. It’s not that I don’t understand the facts it’s the manner in which old girl Amy (short for amygdala) interprets said facts. My Amy is a skittish chick who is oblivious to both nuance and probability. You give her an inch of uncomfortable and she will knit you a California king-sized blanket of concern. … and you’re still shivering. That said I want credit for being better than I was.
