I prefer to try and predict a potential problem, and avoid it before it ever happens. I am proactive.
Your stress comes from dealing with problems (that have already occurred), my stress comes from worrying about them (in advance). In the end, you rarely worry, and I rarely have problems. Who is right? Neither. We just think differently.

This generalization just isn't true. I'm generally a pessimist who always thinks about and prepares for the worst. But I'm not willing to sacrifice my every convenience for privacy at all costs. Yes, like most people, I prefer to keep my life reasonably private from general public. But not everywhere and from everyone. That would be far too inconvenient in today's age. I like modern, comfortable lifestyle. False accounts, gift cards, always deleting cookies or using VPN, cash etc. is just so much more bother than I'm willing to put up with. And no, I haven't had any problems because of that.
