1If I can take a guess I would say that anxiety is like hunger, it's the absence of self-confidence. Anxiety doesn't have to be removed but confidence increased.
-41Yeah, that's not really how anxiety works not even sort of. Anxiety is generally a trauma response, and it takes a lot of therapy to fix that, and by fix, I mean reduce. Anxiety doesn't usually just disappear completely either.
36Maybe don't "take a guess" at how mental illnesses work when there are tons of studies and experts that know better.
33Well, scientists have studied this stuff, so you don't need to guess. Anxiety is caused by trauma, not low self-confidence. However, anxiety can decrease your self-confidence, and increased confidence can lower your anxiety, so the two are linked.
25What a terrible take.

But ya know, that's just me.
Edit: lol at downvotes, this is newish research. A lot of new information has landed literally in the last week. I sincerely advise keeping an eye on it as research ramps up.
I've posted a couple of papers below, one old, one new. As well as a link to an article that does a good job of summarising where our understanding is currently at.
