am I okay

4. anxiety's my comfort zone


Listen Later

I've realised recently that my resting state is generally one of anxiety, and when I'm not worried about something I find something to be worried about - I think in this society we forget how to just be happy - we're too scared to let go in case something bad happens. But what's gained from worrying about something that probably won't happen? Nothing, obviously, but it's so ingrained in us to do it.


What you're comfortable in isn't necessarily a good thing, but it can be - it's more like a habit that you've got used to... maybe like a not-so-clean blanket that you love sleeping with or a cup of tea you have every night - but in a less physical, more theoretical / habitual way. It can include emotional states, response mechanisms and just ways you live your life - this is taken purely from personal experience but I think it makes sense ?? xoxoxo
