    What causes people to get anxiety for no reason?

    I never understood when people say “I get anxiety”.

    This isn’t meant to be disrespectful. Just curious.

    • We all have fleeting moments of anxiety of one sort or another. In generally goes aways after a few moments.utopian
    • if you have a bad experience - could be anything - sometimes your subconscious flags it up as an experience you really don't want to repeatFax_Benson
    • so stores it with other flight / fight reactions. Avoiding a repeat becomes an unconscious reaction, like running from a bear etc. Even if your conscious mindFax_Benson
    • can easily rationalise it, your instinct won't let you put yourself in a potentially 'dangerous' situation, and anxiety kicks inFax_Benson
    • it's never 'no reason' but the reason can be seemingly trivial - or at ;least triggered by trivial situations / threatsFax_Benson
    • Amped fight or flight reactions. My wife gets it and sometimes it the smallest triggers. Can be emotional or a physical response. Some of her meds for another..thumb_screws
    • ...condition exacerbate it too. I used to find it hard to understand it. I’ve never really suffered it apart from big life events like most people so couldn’t..thumb_screws
    • ...quantify it. Can manifest from emotional/physical trauma or often just happens.thumb_screws
    • Fax sums it up really wellthumb_screws
    • We’re in a fucked society with a fucked system of education that doesn’t prepare people for life, parents have no idea what they’re doing and arescarabin
    • ...working through trauma of their own. It’s a wonder anyone can function at allscarabin
    • That's true but differentFax_Benson
    • There’s always a reason. And it’s usually because, like Scarabin says, there’s underlying trauma not dealt with. Solution: Take some ket.Ianbolton
    • NBQ, you're misogynist piece of shit, so I wouldn't expect you to have apathy or sympathy. I doubt you'll ever understand.imbecile
    • oh imbecile, where do you get the idea that I'm a misogynist piece of shit? Because I post beautiful women in the COTD thread?NBQ00
