because in our modern day there's very little opportunity for your body to actually encounter a life-or-d3@th situation so it has to get its wiggles out where it can

Are you saying if I experienced more actual life or de@th situations I'd feel less anxious all the other times?

actually that is a possibility
the more actual danger I've experienced the easier it is for me to tell myself "well at least this isn't as bad as the time I was lost in an airport a thousand miles away from home "

not to tell you to go seek them out y'know

I feel like the problem is that I rationally understand that nothing is actually wrong
But my body still goes ":0 a minor inconvenience? Seems like de@th!"
