Pathologizing all forward thinking action as an anxiety coping mechanism is a great way to shame yourself and maximize anxiety. Conclusion: anxiety has become sentient and wants to live forever

Hmm, yes! In two senses: - This thing is potentially threatening to my body/life in some way and should be thought through - This thing requires a summoning of energy and anxiety is a shortcut to getting those glands to activate and give me the happy speed
Hmm I tend to think of anxiety as awareness of risk in a more general sense - that there is uncertainty and some of the outcomes that could happen are bad.

I'm not sure if this is 100% right but it's often a useful lens. Definitely doesn't need to involve major harm to create anxiety

I like this framing - it doesn't have to be dangerous, just uncertain and because nothing is 100% certain, there's green field for anxiety everywhere.
