Eli5: Is anxiety or stress beneficial in any way?
In: 6
Here’s a specific example:
I used to be a performer.
I’d be anxious back stage before going on. That was important to me. I’d use that nervous energy to fuel my performance.
If I wasn’t feeling that anxiety, it meant something was wrong. I was too tired, or too complacent, and I’d have to work harder to give a good performance.
Hope that helps.

My anxiety has resulted in inaction. So now when stuck I walk, so if I don’t get clarity at least I get steps.
Gotta go walk now, my Reddit scrolling is the habit I’m trying to change.
