What causes anxiety

In a previous article i said that anxiety is caused by lack of trust in ones abilities. This means that if you encountered a situation while thinking that your skills might not be sufficient for it then you will feel anxious.

That is one of the most famous causes for anxiety but there is another type of anxiety that is too common and that is caused by feelings of inferiority.

In this article i will tell you how can inferiority feelings cause anxiety.

Inferiority causes anxiety

Of course lacking a certain skill when it is needed will lead to anxiety but what about people who feel anxious around all men? all women? or all the time?

In the Solid Self confidence program i said that during our childhood each one of us used to feel inferior as the result of being surrounded by more capable adults however some of us didn't mange to navigate safely through this phase and the result was the persistence of these inferiority feelings.

When those people grow up they forget about the inferiority on the conscious level but deep within they still felt that something is wrong with them.

They feel that they are faulty, inadequate or somehow worthless.
As a result of these feelings the subconscious mind of those people tries to prevent others from knowing the fact that they are faulty and the best way it comes up with is to let them avoid people.

This is where anxiety stems from
The subconscious mind uses anxiety to keep them away from people so that they don't discover that they are faulty!!

Deal with your inferiority to end anxiety

Stage fright, agoraphobia, fear of women or of the opposite sex might all be methods your subconscious mind is using to protect you from what appears to be dangerous, and what can be more dangerous than allowing other people to discover that you are inferior??

In such a case the only way to prevent this anxiety is to deal with these deeply rooted inferiority feelings, only then your anxiety will disappear.
