   observation, not complaint or criticism...

   I've come to view "worried" as a loaded word with negative connotations.

   After I answered and saw the early results so far, I realized that may have colored my response (very). I suspect if "concerned" was used instead, I probably would have weighed in as "extremely"

     @exador23 I don't understand your comment. I definitely think "worried" is negative.

     "Worried" connotes to me some possible bad outcome that is not certain. I think "grief" or "concern" or similar is more what I feel - the bad outcome is not uncertain. Sadly.
