People who worry typically have a reason behind their worrying. Try to talk to the person to figure out what is making them so worried and, if you can, try to help them out to ease their worries away. But some people worry for no reason, which is often not the best thing to do. For the person who is prone to over worrying, tell them to calm down or try to explain that their worry is not needed. Try to distract them and they should start to feel better.
