not smart enough to understand correlation does not mean causation apparently

I like how everyone now has anxiety. It used to be called being nervous, and you didnt need pills.
Flash635
It's entirely possible that chemicals that are present in our food and air contribute toward it for some people.
Perfzilla
Maybe anxious people just give a fuck more about how they do on pointless stupid intelligence tests.
BuckOhNine
Or maybe its been proven that people with anxiety on average are more intelligent? Spoken from someone without anxiety.
Perfzilla
Maybe intelligent undergrads without anxiety go to better schools than Lakehead University leaving the less confident anxious ones behind.

If you really have it, take medicine for it so you dont push away those around you

Meds aren't the only option. I'm in therapy for it and it's improved my marriage and my communication with friends.
BeyondDimensions
I am on medication for it and in therapy. xD I'm just amused at the prospect that intelligence and anxiety are linked.
Oogibah
Im not surprised, i mean you have to be smart enough to know something is wrong in order to freak out about it
BeyondDimensions
But...But what if I wasn't? What a blissful life that would be.
WolfNugget
everybody has anxiety, which is why we have survived as a species this long. if you are NEVER anxious you might be a sociopath
bigbeardwithagun
is that actually true?
Oogibah
That is anal retention if I ever saw it. If you knew somebody with real anxiety issues you would never say that.
WolfNugget
My mother is agorophobic. I know about anxiety. that does not change the fact that, like I said, everybody has anxiety. you disagree?
Oogibah
I feel like adhd and depression are more commonly brought up than anxiety but it could just be different circles
WolfNugget
yeah thats true I feel like all of my friends claimed to have ADHD as a kid, and there's only one that I really believe had a problem
Flash635
Do you believe in fart rape?
Oogibah
Um, no.
WolfNugget

Flash635
I just heard about switch rape.
