future-trip

v. to be in a mental state state where you are imagining a range of future possibilities; or to make a journey into a specific future timeline by imagining outcome and consequences of the present might play out over time

I try not to future-trip too much, it makes me anxious.
I future-tripped this scenario, so I am prepared and know exactly what to do.
I need your attention and help with this, please listen to me and don't future-trip right now.
