I don't think a healthy and happy person with a decent wage/job would feel anxious from this post)

No one is immune to anxiety, especially not when the main focus of a post is a failure to thrive and loss of time itself. Everyone ages.

That's why learning when to walk away is a crucial skill everyone needs to develop.

Learning to stay present and be ok with whatever happens is also another useful skill.

When a subject causes anxiety it is easy to get caught in an avoidance pattern instead of working through it and having a learning experience. Why does that subject cause the anxiety? There's usually some mental or emotional work there for you to ponder and work through over time.
