Summary
The future anxiety considers one of psychological problems that students suffer from at the present time, in light of the pressures they face due to fears of the future and the mysterious events it carries, which may not meet their ambitions, because the future anxiety takes a large part of their thinking (Al-Otaibi, 2016). The personal characteristics greatly affect the self-fulfilling or self-performing activities, such as the selection, decision-making, action control, control of desires, and self-regulation where all these activities require energy to perform and complete properly This energy depends on limited sources within the body and can run out whenever the individual overstates or misuse these activities, which is known as the ego depletion. The ego depletion may represent the highest levels of psychological stresses and may affect the different relationships of individuals, which include the individual social relationships and the interactions with colleagues and family members (Maranges & Baumeister, 2016)
