To expand on the listening, if I am anxious about something and my friend or you [laughs] is anxious about something else. Then we listen to one another, we both feel better. There’s less anxiety. If we define ourselves as, “Oh, I’m an anxious person. You’re a anxious person.” Then this stereotyping makes both of us even more anxious when talking to one another.
