Is anxiety something you are born with?

partly! we have anxious stressors that are ingrained in us evolution-wise. like how many of us jump at the sight of a spider, despite knowing they're harmless (most of the time). i believe general anxiety is something pushed into us as we grow up and experience the world more and more. there are a lot of stressors no person should have to endure, but does. so, it is something you're born with in an evolutionary sense. and something you're born with if it shows up as a direct symptom of a genetic disease you may have. but general anxiety is a consequence of living in a world not made for us.
