When no one understands your anxiety, it can work very much in your favor. How? I’m going to share with you the highlights of today’s anxious boy podcast episode. Enjoy!
It’s a good thing why no one understands your anxiety
Anxiety is a subject that needs to be approached with sensitivity, although we have a generous amount of material ready to explore. There are lectures, lots of books, and lots and lots of research on anxiety. However, as mentioned, there is also a human side to anxiety that cannot be gleaned from all available research and data.
Anxiety has many characteristics, both diagnosed and undiagnosed, directly from patients. These are the people we interact with, talk to, meet or listen to. These are the people we can love, fight or disagree with.
Science is the best option we have to understand any innovation. However, it cannot tell us about everything, especially the human side of things. There are certain things that can only be understood by us when we experience them in reality through emotions or feelings. Such things cannot be explained with words from books, websites, hypothesis or thesis.
Anxiety can be subjective and manifest in its own way. Each person with anxiety can experience the problem in different ways and differently various symptoms. People and their experiences cannot be divided into something quantifiable. This is because for each of us, our existence and individual life experiences are complex, frustrating, and/or fascinating. Furthermore, when dealing with matters between the mind and the heart, each of us may have a different outcome.
Some of the points discussed below will help you realize thankfully; why is this a good thing no one understands your worries.
It helps you spend more time with yourself and change your relationship with your body and feelings
The source of concern is threat sensors at the highest alert level. It’s important to remember that psychological injuries—such as shame, rejection, or humiliation—can be just as real as feelings caused by a perceived physical injury.
Thoughts that start as small deviations can quickly snowball and change the entire day for an anxious person. “What if I forget to thank him on the way out?”, “Did I turn off the stove?”, “If the car breaks down, I’m late?” thoughts like and so on. it can shake your head and ruin your day. Despite increased organizational and preparation efforts and efficiency, the patient’s mind may turn to ashes once the concern is raised. Such anxiety can often be seen physically—in skin tone or handshake strength.
Thoughts are often reasonable, rational, and probable, but anxiety about it can overwhelm them.
Since communication with a patient with an anxiety disorder can cause anxiety, many people with anxiety become more responsible towards the person they let into their close circle. If you don’t fit their friendship parameters, they may put up a wall when they encounter you. They are generally not rude to cover the wall as they continue to be your acquaintance. This kind of determination can go a long way in dealing with anxiety that no one understands. People who can enter the fortress of patients should feel grateful, because people with anxiety develop a lovable and safe character as a positive effect of increased responsibility.
This allows you to better understand yourself and how you develop anxiety
Anxiety can lead to thoughts and feelings that can be crazy, scary, and overwhelming. Moreover, they can be very powerful. These thoughts may have more influence than the knowledge doctors offer or the knowledge they have acquired throughout their lives. It is not enough to know that there is nothing to worry about. Once an anxious mindset takes hold, it will drive the patient’s behavior and cause feelings of panic and fear, etc. will trigger. All worldly knowledge of the reality, legality, validity or probability of a possible event/outcome will be of no consequence. dive into the thoughts that keep swelling. When reason works against reason, an anxious person can only return to their past learning.
Anxiety can make a person take more responsibility for his life. This leads one to realize the limitations of psychological and pharmaceutical assistance in dealing with the effects of one’s own anxiety. Subsequently, people with anxiety take more time to understand themselves better. It’s even more so when you regularly encounter others who don’t really get it. Increased time spent on self-awareness also helps patients understand how they develop anxiety, the aspects of their lives that cause anxiety, and the associated panic, fear, etc.
It helps you become more comfortable with uncertainty and the unknown
People can sometimes experience diametrically opposed feelings at the same time. Scientifically, such feelings can never coexist, and such a possibility is impossible. However, such conflicting feelings actually coexist in people with anxiety, and sometimes conflicting feelings can cause the same reaction in patients.
For example, people with anxiety may want to be alone and isolated, but at the same time want to be around people. Similarly, people with anxiety disorders may experience a fear of being lost and forgotten, but also a fear of being overly important and easily available. If you suffer from anxiety, “I just don’t understand what you want?” have you met family or friends who say when experiencing such an episode of different feelings.
But you don’t have to worry that no one from your family or friends ‘gets it’. Chances are, they have no clue what’s going on with you. Because others rarely understand your anxiety, you need to understand it take the opportunity training and adapting yourself to throw off an episode of uncertainty with ease and comfort.
It helps not to rely too much on others
Anxiety has been found to persuade individuals to take as much control as possible over the many “unknowns” in life, thereby preventing any turmoil in the near and distant future. Thus, anxious people tend to trust themselves more than others. They are those who ensure that the plan or event is carried out without any unreasonable defects. People with anxiety tend to decide on the right time to leave in order to get somewhere on time; at the ‘right’ place of meeting/meeting; ideal ways to travel to the destination; and things to bring to the meeting.
Worried people will also take extra precautions, such as spare coins, a spare sweater and a spare mobile charger.
Because anxiety sufferers have self-confidence, they also tend to gain emotional intelligence over time. They tend to be kinder, funnier, stronger and thoughtful. Because of their heightened sensitivity to possible threats, they also become more sensitive to the feelings of the people around them. They will ask others for their opinion; they will know what cannot be said, what is good, and what needs to be done to ease the pain of the people around them.
