Context: I get very anxious around my mom…

I wonder what parents think.

My mom told me: “There’s nothing to be afraid of, I’m your mom, I’ll never hurt you” and completely dismisses my anxiety issue…

    I’m not a parent, but I can imagine I would feel just terrible.

    You seem to have a lot of anxiety about things in general. Are you talking to a professional psychologist or therapist? If not, it may be something to consider.

        Advice like this is the worst. Technically on point, but in the same time missing it by a few orders of magnitude. It’s like telling a depressed person to „take a walk, get some fresh air, do sports“. They know it would help, they just can’t do it alone.
