People often talk about conversations, especially with friends or close others, as a way to feel more authentic or moments where they really felt like themselves. Part of why that happens, I think, is people give you the space to explore those feelings, to talk about them in more detail. And they'll often ask questions or have you look at that problem from a new angle.

And having that reaction to their anxiety makes me realize, oh, my anxiety is also probably a little silly. Like this is probably an irrational fear that I have.

And it almost helps you look at your own anxiety or your own troubles in a different way.
