So you cured your anxiety?

@UltraLiberal: You wrote, “According to the OP that means you are too weak to handle stress.”

My post doesn’t mean that at all. You’re reading something into it that isn’t there. There’s nothing in there about being weak or strong.

Sometimes

More than anything, I think I just wanted to stimulate thought and discussion.

One could say stress and anxiety are the same thing; I think the two are used interchangeably more often than is appropriate. Or, one could say stress causes anxiety, and that it’s how we learn to respond to stress that dictates how the anxiety will manifest.

Further…it’s all relative. The same exact circumstances that for one person instills panic, fear, etc., might not be a problem for the individual sitting in the next seat.

You are probably right. Oddly enough, I was raised mainly by my career Marine Grandfather, and a lot of that imprinted on me as a young kid. I generally get more comfortable the more things get stressful and chaotic.

Im great in a crisis, Im a bit of a pain in the ass at something like a holiday party 🤣🤣🤣

Im glad you figure out the work-arounds.

Anxiety, in my observations, is something I wouldnt wish on my enemies.

False. It is the result of neurochemistry.

Yep. Do you have it?

There are things that give me anxiety now that didn’t when I was younger. I absolutely hate it. I just asked my doctor for meds to help with those times.
