Episode 2783: Margo Aaron exposes the true face of worry, not as an act of care, but as a defense mechanism shielding us from deeper emotions like grief, powerlessness, and shame. Through her candid reflection, she challenges readers to stop projecting concern onto others and instead confront the discomfort of self-denial and unacknowledged pain that often drives our anxious tendencies. Read along with the original article(s) here:⁠ https://www.thatseemsimportant.com/personal-growth/what-lies-underneath-worry/⁠ Quotes to ponder: "It's the denial that you have those feelings that makes them grow." "The feelings themselves are not dangerous or bad. They're useful. Feelings are data from your insides telling you what's up." "Should I worry about you is a sort of denialism. It's a deflection. It says, 'Tell me you're ok, so I can be ok.'"
