Favorite quote from this book - “I’d add that, in such instances, we’d love everyone (someone?) to see that we absolutely do not have our shit together. And to come and tell us they’ve got this one. Even for five minutes.
The more anxious we are, the more we’d really love someone to come and take the load off us and help us cope for a bit. This presents us with another cruel anxious irony, doesn’t it:
The more anxious we are, the more high functioning we will make ourselves appear, which just encourages the world to lean on us more.
Anxiety... it’s a befuddling clusterfuckery for everyone involved.”
