"Anxiety is a desire for what one dreads." - Søren Kierkegaard

Taking it WAY back with this quote from a 19th century philosopher.

You may not think a definition of anxiety would include the word "desire," but I think this describes anxiety perfectly.

There is something attractive about anxiety. It gives us a sense of control, if even for just a moment. It helps us feel like we have control. There are many uncertainties in life and our brains don't like uncertainty, anxiety and worry attempts to complete this circle for our brains. However, it isn't a real sense of control, it is fleeting.
