I’m a guy, and being on this app has seriously helped with anxiety I have, myself. It’s a part of life. So they see an infographic about "anxiety" on facebook or some shit that lists symptoms of anxiety disorders (which are so vague usually they apply to everyone) and then they self dx anxiety, start reading internet blogs about it and through the power of suggestion it just gets worse and worse because they start seeing "anxiety" as the driving force in their life. Honestly, that all sounds believable but I've never seen anyone get rewarded for (claiming to have) anxiety, and I'd wager it doesn't happen as often as you're positing here.

Everyone knows that Reddit has opinions and it's also one of the best places to find open-minded and brutally-honest conversations. Try tumblr. Anxiety is the fear of failure and striving for perfection. Especially in local cultures that still expect traditional roles for men (my family, for instance - men should be well-built, straight, working-class, can fix cars, etc). Okay literally every human on earth has some form of social anxiety when it comes to socializing it’s just that most people get over it and then there’s the people that I can’t tell if they’re just weak minded, lazy, or both, but they let it get to them and it stops them from doing anything so they proceed to complain and bitch about it telling other people they “don’t know what it’s like” when in reality they’re just to big of pussies to do anything about it. you experience anxiety all the time, you experience a panic attack when you have those physical symptoms, [–]Speedmetal666 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (0 children).
