For us it's pretty much:
- If you think you're not anxious, you will be
- If you're unsure, go back to step 1
- Even if you have nothing else, you will still be anxious about your own anxiety
It's only called a "disorder" because those gosh-darn neurotypical normies think that anxiety is a bad thing! We use it to protect ourselves by simply not taking any risks whatsoever! What's the harm in avoiding harm? :3c
And hey, false positives are better than false negatives, right? Right?

apparently-necessary disclaimer to clarify that anxiety is a normal protection mechanism and this is a hyperbolic joke (!!). a lot of people have more anxiety than should be necessary, and it becomes a disorder when they're constantly anxious about things that they shouldn't be anxious about. obviously, non-disordered anxiety is a thing that we believe in so please don't write a big reply lecturing me on how my short joke is implying we should abolish all anxiety or whatever
