It recently occurred to me that humans probably have a baseline level of anxiety, and this causes us to find things to worry about (no matter how trivial). Over the past several years I've had growing issues with anxiety, and I had found myself fretting about a passing conversation with someone that doesn't know me and likely will never see again. It wasn't even like the conversation went that badly, so why was I replaying it and worrying about it? Logically it made no sense, but it keeps happening over little things like this. The only way I can explain it is that life has been going well and I haven't had any significant things to worry about for a while. Now my brain seems to be working overtime to find hidden dangers.
