Why do we feel anxious?
Plenty of things exist in the world to make us feel anxious. In fact, anxiety is a natural, evolutionary response to situations that either appear or are dangerous. However, this same system that keeps us safe can sometimes become activated in situations where it is neither necessary nor helpful, triggering an anxiety response that can be quite unpleasant. This response often leads to other responses by the individual, usually to escape from the perceived danger.
