    I once did my first transmission repair nervous burping for the whole 12 hours I was doing it! Years later it's still working!

    Well, I mean it does depend on how anxious you feel. This might make some people feel invalidated I guess.

    Imagine being cripplingly anxious and then someone comes along and claims you can still do things.

    my first reading of it was more along the lines of "you need to do things that make you anxious". it took a few seconds for what the actual meaning was to take. i can see why someone would downvote that sentiment.

    I can't speak for everyone, but for me, in my youth, it helped to actually go out and do the things I was worried about. When I spent all my time home worrying, I just got worse. Once I left the house, went to the party, went on the hike, whatever, I found the reality wasn't anywhere near what I had worried about
