> Axiety exists for a reason. It's actually adaptive. A little axiety and a bad memory? That's not only a part of life, but it can have a positive effect. It for example helps with performance. If I wasn't nervous, I wouldn't have prepared for this interview.

Bruh... This is why I hate shrinks. Joe talks about bullying and life long effects it has on people, and this bitch compares it to slight shake before a public performence. I hate these people so deeply. This is what "disorder" language does to your empathy.

@LukeAlmighty anxiety does exist for a reason, and we shouldn't seek to get rid of it entirely because it is a good motivator. It's bad when it becomes crippling, though. Balance in all things.

Obviously, but that wasn't the topic. She changed the topic to the most textbook definition just so she could ignore the topic.
And that is my issue with shrinks. They are unable to listen, since they have their own mental model of what is wrong with you, and that model leads them to actually ignore your issues entierly.
