- sliverstorm 14y agoWell, the first thing that comes to mind is fairy tails as old as dirt and from the world over occasionally feature a figure in search of eternal youth. E.g., the fountain of youth.
- hosh 14y agoOh, that's an interesting argument. But that doesn't necessarily rule out socialized anxiety. The fairy tales were recorded and told in a time with writing, that is, civilization / society.
