Depends on the turbulence. The one that it feels like you're just shaking like driving down a country road, don't care, the one where you all the sudden drop, you bet your ass.

When I went out to Pitt to watch Frank and the cats play back in the day, we hit a giant air pocket and our plane dove down like hundreds of feet. I was taking a nap and it scared the crap out of me. The old lady next to me had her wine fly all the way up, hit the ceiling, and come down splashing on me.  :curse:

Many airplane crashes are several minutes of terror prior to impact and no amount of O2 is going to help that.  At least not for me.

Also, "air pockets" Wacky???   :D

When airplanes go down it's not because of turbulence. Even extreme turbulence is safe AF. Landing and takeoff are where you want to be doing your rosary deal with the forgiveness and all that.

Anyway, my answer is scary movie trailers.  The recent one where it takes place is some Swiss or Austrian crazy farm.  Anxiety right there.

Also some heights.  Like, not top of some tower or bridge or something, but like legitimately dangerous places like scree slopes and cliffs and knife ridges.  Last fall I felt myself freaking out on a scree slope and thought I might pass out and had to bear hug a tree with my arms and legs until it passed.

When I sold software, I worked for thee biggest assholes in thee entire world. Like seriously, my CEO was like 6'6" and played college football and was always a giant dick to me. Always calling me out in meetings and always looking over my shoulder at my station. Anyways, he gave me my fear of public speaking all of a sudden, because he did a number on my dome. I might see what I can do to break this "fear". I have dreams about that job and my old boss like 2-3 times a week. I've been removed from there for like 4 years now.

What can you do about something like that? See a specialist or am I just mumped for life? :dunno:

Yes, inside sales. I got back into for profit after they let me go. I took PTO to do a TV gig up in Nebraska for a state tournament. I was leading the team in sales at the time too. When I returned they let me go because I wasn't 100% invested with them. Their words.

They're kinda intertwined especially with the  anxious flyer.  Pre flight jitters is anxiety.  Tightening up during turbulence or landing could be a mixture of both fear and anxiety.

Right, but the framing of this conversation leads people to talk about their greatest sources of anxiety which become fears. This would be a pretty dull conversation about the small things that we all have anxiety about. Lib's expired food anxiety is a perfect example of this. I'm guessing most people wouldn't scarf down turkey from the fridge that has been in there for five months without a wayward thought. Crossing the street is something we all do but I'm sure most have some level of anxiety about it, same thing with driving a car, getting a haircut, staying in a high rise hotel, eating out, getting married, hiring a babysitter, etc etc etc.

1000X this. I hate calling people I don't know, and I hate asking people for money. Doing the telefund was pretty much the most nerve racking thing since it's both of those.

On the flip side, when I do receive the telefund call, I try to be as :D as possible to them, knowing how :runaway: is was for me on the other end.

My wife absolutely hates that I keep food beyond the date.  Especially milk.  The truth is, unless it says expiration date or something denoting it should not be used after a certain date, the date on it is more likely talking about this is the date we've determined this will taste the best or the date it has to be sold.  But it is still usable afterwards in most cases.  And they are largely not regulated, so a company determines their own dates.  I get the turkey after a week thing though.  And frozen stuffs.  pretty much good forever, or until the freezer burn sets in.

In the most basic definition, fear is directly attributable to something that is happening whereas anxiety is what your mind is doing to you thinking about what could happen, be happening, etc...

It's like fear is your emotional and physical reactions when a spider is crawling on you.  Anxiety is your emotional and physical reactions when thinking about spiders crawling on you.

My wife's family all have really debilitating anxiety.  She takes medication to reduce hers, but I have had to learn the triggers of hers.  Some days it is like a tightrope which is why I commented that people with anxiety give me anxiety.  Constantly getting turned over wondering if what I'm doing is triggering her.  The medication makes it much easier.  I still rarely drive the vehicle if we are both in it though.  It's just not worth it because she is white knuckle the entire time constantly trying to figure out ways that we will crash.  Her father won't even ride in a vehicle if he isn't driving.

Even the dates on dairy and meat aren't very reliable at all. The smell test is infallible.

Why does the air at the top of good milk smell spoiled?  Like if you pour a glass and smell its fine tho.

Things I can't control
This. Always this. I don't say the serenity prayer enough.

Things I can't control give me total peace and relaxation. What can be better for your anxiety than knowing it's not your fault?
As a narcissist, it's always my fault. Or so I always think.

Lib those 'use by' and expired dates don't mean anything. They don't regulate it at all, you could put anything on there. There was some study that came out in the past year about it and most food lasts for days/weeks longer than those dates

Calling somebody I've never talked to to ask for money or permission to do something. I absolutely hated the 1 time I got roped into telefund and I would make a terrible salesman.

1000X this. I hate calling people I don't know, and I hate asking people for money. Doing the telefund was pretty much the most nerve racking thing since it's both of those.

On the flip side, when I do receive the telefund call, I try to be as :D as possible to them, knowing how :runaway: is was for me on the other end.

I'm not mean to them or anything, but I hate taking that call. I just know that after I say no, they are going to follow their script and try to bargain me down all the way to about $20, and I'm still going to say no. And if you don't answer, they just keep calling all night.

I get your viewpoint. Harvesting my first game animal as a teenager certainly altered my outlook on how food gets to your table. That being said, I don't think that many people come from the right place mentally to participate in the process, that includes both those that abstain/abhor it and those that participate solely for the conquest/ trophy aspect of it. The commercialization of it (i.e. the glamorization/ creation of the redneck rockstar) is one of the biggest contributors to how the process gets misconstrued on both sides of the spectrum.

 I think what we are both dancing around here is how increased specialization in every day life has allowed people to lose touch with many of the processes necessary to maintain life and the sense of fulfillment that comes with carrying them out. There's an innate human need to do work necessary for survival, when you deny yourself this work, you open the door to let dissatisfaction with yourself and your actions run rampant. People express that feeling in a lot of different ways.  :th_twocents:

You guys should use Guaranteed Foods© like my family does.  With Guaranteed Foods© you order food every six months and they deliver it and put it in your giant freezer.  Guaranteed Foods© cuts down on waste because everything is packaged individually so you cook exactly the amount you want.  Also, if you don't like something Guaranteed Foods© will take it back and replace it with something you do like free of charge, cutting waste even more.  Not to mention we eat healthier and save money by not going out to eat as much.  Guaranteed Foods©:  _33 approved.  :thumbsup:
