why do people worry over nothing?

Answer 1

I don't think it's something you can turn on and off. Some people do and some don't. What's the point in worrying about something that you cannot change?! Yet people do. It's human nature.

Answer 2

... because we have always seen "worry" all around us and we hardly see or are being taught how to deal with it. In other words, worry is just a part of life just like smile, happiness, anger, lust, etc. In fact, no one can teach us the way out of it as it must be tackled through self knowledge only.
