The speaker reflects on experiencing emotional turmoil by projecting hypothetical negative scenarios onto reality and then self-reassuring through unnecessary anxiety. They describe the phenomenon of inducing stress, physically and emotionally, without any actual event occurring. The discussion also touches on the idea of numbing and flattening the present moment by projecting past experiences onto it, thereby missing out on the beauty and liberation of the present.
