>>12305943that's because we live in a society which makes us feel like there's bears everwhere and they keep chasing you even longer than 30 minutes, you uneducated baboon.
the difference between a disorder or not is the appropriateness to a cultural mediated average functioning person, meaning that the concept of "appropriateness" itself is vague and can change in time and even by culture and nationality.
For fuck's sake there's even culture specific psychological conditions.
Anxiety disorder is defined when the anxiety you percieve influences your "normal" functioning in a society, it has fuck all to do with with absolute neurotransmitters and everything to do with environment and percieved risk.
People who suffer from anxiety disorder are perfectly understandable, the mistery is why not everybody suffers from anxiety constantly considering the wildly blind risks we take everyday.
It's like people being afraid of an elevator, the true question is why shouldn't you be afraid to get into a steel coffin which hangs by a steel thread whose safety and integrity has been checked by another human which is stupid as you are and you are dangling over certain death hoping that every single part of that machine keeps functioning when it needs to.
And the only answer you can have is a probability estimate of how frequent is a catastrophic equipment failure, too bad your individual experience is not reconciliable with statistics since you can't live multiple lives and if you die that's it.
So you do, as most humans do, a marvelous operation of mental gymnastic which is to ignore every rational consideration regardin pretty much everything and constantly bullshit yourself into thinking "why should anything bad happen anyway".
And that's what you mean when people "don't suffer from an anxiety disorder".
