Do you ever wonder if your anxiety is just a result of trying to cope with the real world and societal expectations? That it’s nothing really wrong with you, but more like it’s present day society that is unnatural for us as human beings?

I sometimes wonder if I actually have ADHD or something, or maybe I’m just a normal human being, and was just so conditioned to “stay in line” that I have a constant sense of dread of making a mistake, and so I find myself worrying about everything and often nothing just because I’ve conditioned myself to worry as a way to live “successfully” in this world.

The more I practice mindfulness and learn to embrace and let go of my anxiety, the less I find myself caring about perfection or meeting any sort of standard, and the more I feel like a kid, just living to live and not really worrying so much about anything. The freer from my anxiety I feel the more “irresponsible” I feel, though things get done just as much as they used to, just more simply and with less anxiety.
