Anxiety is an experience of emotional discomfort associated with the expectation of trouble, a premonition of the impending danger, although in reality this risk may not be. Assumed that fear differs from anxiety in the presence of real danger. Another concept says that fear arises where there is threat to life (injury, mutilation, death), and anxiety associated with the difficulty or impossibility of realization of social needs: ✔definition of their position in society.
✔thoughts about relationships with the opposite sex
✔career development and success, etc.
In General, anxiety affects all of the social components of human life. the

also, anxiety can be confused with fear, as emotions like anxiety and strong can be perceived by man as the feeling of fear.

Where does anxiety??? Why is it so many say? Because now the world is safe enough. You are unlikely to be killed or robbed in the street. It's unlikely that you'll starve or freeze on the street. But it was not always so!!!

Most of the development of mankind we were surrounded by danger. Millions of years of evolution have not been wasted. Our ancestors were surrounded by many threats:
❌wild predators
❌hunger
❌hostile brothers
❌poisonous plants
❌natural disaster
in such conditions has evolved our mind. And in this regard formed one of the qualities which helps us to survive for a heap of years: CAUTION. In us instinctively fear animals: a barking dog immediately causes fear. We have a dislike for dirty dishes, as the ancestors evolved a sense of disgust to spoiled food. In situations when you need to chat with a stranger or the group of people we often behave timidly because in the old days, a stranger could attack and kill. the

😬Anxiety sits in us at the genetic level. It is our part and many thousands of years is what helped us to survive. The study was conducted in which infants were shown a series of photographs and one of them was a picture of a spider. All images babies almost did not give the reaction, but in spiders they responded the pupil. That is, for some reason babies among all singled out this way. 🕷🕸

✔Our brains for so many years, evolution has programmed this operation! But as I said the current world is in danger and it turns out that the software (our instincts) is deprecated and may cause more trouble than good.
⚙Shyness often goes to harm us and does not allow to formulate and to Express thoughts as we would like. ⚙Social fears associated with our position in society is accompanied by such thoughts: "and suddenly will not work, won't work for me, I'm not worthy, etc."
In the end they all can tie up paralyzing any of our activity and will drive into helplessness!!!
.
✔What do we do in such a situation??? There are instincts which a lot of years, sitting in our nervous system deeply and hard, own us from birth. In addition to the instincts evolution gave us MINDS and the ability to "programming" and "reprogramming" our thoughts and behaviour. 🛠

As it happens, in General terms, our brains have to re-live a frightening situation and get the experience which will show that this situation does not pose a risk and danger. At first, everything is played in the head only in combination with relaxation techniques and if necessary, the situation is played out in reality. As soon as our brain has got the experience of that frightening situation is safe, fear will begin to recede. Sometimes you need multiple play in my head that used to reduce my anxiety levels.
