Causes of anxiety:

                              Mobile Internet has spread to every corner of people's lives. When we enjoy the infinite convenience it brings, we also have to face the complicated troubles that come from it. The "information cocoon house" is building consensus barriers, social anxiety is being spread and amplified, and the Internet "bubble" is gradually being squeezed by the real society. How to recognize and solve these problems so that this great technology can better serve human society ?

In the Internet age, the word "anxiety" is now increasingly appearing in our field of vision. We have not only heard that some people are experiencing it, some people are fighting against it, and some people are even selling it. Unfinished work, fluctuating house prices, children's education... Whether we accept it or not, these anxiety factors surround and surround each of us, and an era of collective anxiety has arrived.

In fact, each of us is born with the gene of anxiety. Psychology believes that the emotion of anxiety originates from the survival instinct of human beings to be prepared for danger in times of peace. However, with the advent of civilization, we no longer have to worry about hunger, cold or displacement. What makes anxiety the most common skin color of our time?

 

1.Social Networks:

                              The first source of anxiety is the known him and the unknown me. We live in an era that can be called abundance, and it is also an era full of wealth myths. Social networks have brought the world closer to us, and made the trajectories of successful people a yardstick against our own lives.

                             When we browse social media, we always see elites who are at the pinnacle of life, internet celebrities who have become rich overnight, local tyrants who demolished ten homes, and legends of Bitcoin heavy warehouses. These "children of other people" are actually enough. It's frustrating, and more importantly, we don't seem to know any practical and effective way to help us "success." Therefore, anxiety arises naturally.

2.Social Conflicts:

                           The second source of worry is structural social conflicts. The Chinese-style collective worries have to mention "unbalanced and inadequate development contradictions." , Usually need a systematic and institutional way to solve.

                         The pressure on housing prices and the cost of children’s education in the urban middle class is itself a universal social problem, but people in the situation often have to move forward with heavy burdens, expecting to be the son of the destiny who distorts their destiny. , And I have to sigh why I can always hear so many stories of Zhuzi's fame.

                       This structural social contradiction has been amplified into a collective worry in the Internet era. It has not only become an acceleration pump of social contradictions, but also a loudspeaker of social contradictions, further exacerbating social contradictions.

3.Gene of anxiety:

                        The third source of anxiety is the downward transmission of the low identity of the group. If personal anxiety is a kind of stress gene for personal aversion to uncertainty, then collective anxiety is the absence of group identity for the entire group.

                       When we stand here and look back at our parents and grandfathers, we can clearly see the remarkable changes in our personal trajectory brought about by the overturning of destiny. They may go from the countryside to the city, from poverty to well-off, perhaps from illiteracy to having a college degree, or from a corner of a burrow to the possibility of going out to see such a big world but most people do not focus on their own efforts and struggles, but pay more attention to the lifestyles of higher-income people on social media, chasing their consumption patterns, and comparing their material conditions. This "low identification" of self-group identity, of course, makes us worry not only about our own worries, but also the worries of others.

                         In fact, anxiety itself is a neutral concept. It not only makes people nervous and restless, but also guides people to take concrete actions. Social media has broadened our horizons and strengthened the connection between people's lives. It is easier for us to know what life looks like in other people's circle of friends, but it also makes individual anxiety aggravate into group anxiety

                          The reason why anxiety has become the background color of the times is that, in the final analysis, we put ourselves in the eyes of others and worry about anxiety that does not belong to us. To solve it or resist it, one should truly understand oneself in the process of finding oneself, and strive to anchor the path of action to one's own ideals instead of living in others' or one's own circle of friends.

Effects of anxiety:

                            Excessive anxiety or being in anxious state for a long time has a great impact on health. Anxiety is a kind of negative emotion. Excessive anxiety will affect our work and study. In severe cases, it will also cause some diseases. What impact does excessive anxiety have on health? Here is a brief introduction for you.

2.Catalyst for aging:

                         It is also a catalyst for accelerating aging. When people are anxious, a toxin will be secreted in the body. Of course, this toxin will not cause us great harm, but it will slowly swallow our physical and mental health invisibly. This kind of poison will make us feel worse. If we can’t rule out for a long time, it will further damage the internal organs. If this continues, even if it does not damage the internal organs, there will be Certain psychological disorders, such as anxiety, depression and other psychological diseases.

Under normal circumstances, being angry for 10 minutes is equivalent to running 3 kilometers.

The best treatment for anxiety:

Diet affects concentration and work efficiency. At this time, adjuvant drug treatment is needed.

In addition, we can use behavioral training exercises. Behavioral training can be like mindfulness, which is also a very popular mindfulness method nowadays.
