Examples:
- You're making a mountain out of a molehill. You wrote one bad essay - it doesn't mean you're going to fail.
- If you’re stuck in traffic, try not to make a mountain out of a molehill worrying about it too much. It could be much worse.
- You don't have to be that worried about this simple situation, don't make a mountain out of a molehill.
