People with anxiety are smarter than you.

Are you someone without anxiety? Do you play it cool, go with the flow, and have water drip off your back (huh?). Well, this is why you’re dumb. 
 
YOU:  Flying is the safest form of travel.
ANXIETY: Is it safer than not flying, staying home, locking yourself in your house, and not answering the door?
 
YOU: If you worry all the time, you’ll never enjoy your life.
ANXIETY: Enjoy your life, till you’re killed by that guy in the clown suit you weren’t worried about.
 
YOU: Whatever it is, it can’t be that bad.
ANXIETY: My girlfriend just revealed to me that she’s my uncle and the good news is she’s not a blood relative because my parents adopted me on a bet at a cocaine party.
 
YOU: Fear isn’t real. It’s something in your mind. 
ANXIETY: Tell your mind not to be afraid while I release this bag of rats onto your face. 
 
YOU: The only thing to fear is fear itself.
ANXIETY: I’m already terrified of fear, but thanks for letting me know you think that’s the number one fear I should have. I’ll move it up on my fucking list.
 
YOU: Go to your high school reunion. What’s the worst that can happen?
ANXIETY: I could show up and be voted “most weight gained since high school” just before the “Prom Killer” returns and murders me in the bathroom. 
 
YOU: Take a chance. You only live once.
ANXIETY: Isn’t that the whole reason you DON’T take chances?
