Plenty of things exist in the world to make us feel anxious. In fact, anxiety is a natural, evolutionary response to situations that either appear or are dangerous. However, this same system that keeps us safe can sometimes become activated in situations where it is neither necessary nor helpful, triggering an anxiety response that can be quite unpleasant. This response often leads to other responses by the individual, usually to escape from the perceived danger. Furthermore, because we as humans are fast learners, over time we learn to avoid those situations and cues that may be dangerous before we even get there. Now this would be fine if our anxiety response only went off in situations of actual danger, such as the edge of a cliff, or a room full of lions.
