my first reading of it was more along the lines of "you need to do things that make you anxious". it took a few seconds for what the actual meaning was to take. i can see why someone would downvote that sentiment.
I can't speak for everyone, but for me, in my youth, it helped to actually go out and do the things I was worried about. When I spent all my time home worrying, I just got worse. Once I left the house, went to the party, went on the hike, whatever, I found the reality wasn't anywhere near what I had worried about

Well, I mean it does depend on how anxious you feel. This might make some people feel invalidated I guess.
Imagine being cripplingly anxious and then someone comes along and claims you can still do things.

I once did my first transmission repair nervous burping for the whole 12 hours I was doing it! Years later it's still working!
