Today, we find ourselves participating in more stories than we ever have before, which is making us all anxious as hell.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There is nothing inherently wrong with stories. Storytelling is what makes us human. Setting aside the stories we tell <em>ourselves<\/em> for just one paragraph, as a culture, we\u2019re surrounded by a ton of stories that we collectively believe to be true. Hell, most of society functions well <em>because<\/em> of the stories we believe to be true. Money, the borders between countries, and legal contracts are just stories, plain and simple. They exist, and are important, because we collectively believe that they exist and are important. Flying across a geographical border, you won\u2019t see a dotted border line denoting where one country turns into another. Show a $100 bill to a tribe of people who have never seen money before, and they\u2019ll be baffled by why you believe a simple piece of paper to be so important. A contract has meaning only with groups of people that believe in the contract and agree to live by it. For the most part, believing in stories such as these allows us to live better and more productive lives.<sup id=\"rf1-11561\"><a href=\"#fn1-11561\" title=\"Credit to the fantastic book &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/amzn.to\/30XjA3I&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sapiens&lt;\/em&gt;&lt;\/a&gt; for providing these examples, and for making the case that storytelling is what makes us human.\" rel=\"footnote\">1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We also participate in many stories on a <em>personal<\/em> level. Most of these stories are attached to our identity (who we believe ourselves to be). Especially in the digital world, it doesn\u2019t take much for us to become attached to these stories\u2026<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>A random funny tweet you send out goes viral, which gives you further validation that you\u2019re funny, and leads you to try to tweet funny things in the future. You\u2019re a funny person!<\/li>\r\n<li>You post some pictures of you working out to Instagram, and after getting a <em>ton<\/em> of likes, you overanalyze how you look in every picture you post after that one. You\u2019re a fitness influencer (kinda)!<\/li>\r\n<li>After your colleagues tell you how great it is that you\u2019re so responsive to messages, you turn on alerts for every email that comes in on your phone, and keep on top of all of the messages that come in on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Slack, Gmail, and every other app. You\u2019re a responsive person!<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Before living such complex digital lives, we had fewer stories to maintain. We were a wife, husband, daughter, parent, tradesperson, person of faith, atheist, avid reader, world traveler, or a coffee aficionado. Today, we occupy these stories and so many more. We\u2019re now also a blogger, networker, and someone who stays on top of everything going on in the world. We\u2019re someone who loves Apple products, and dislikes the current administration. We\u2019re someone who is on top of what our friends are up to on Facebook, follow everyone\u2019s career paths on LinkedIn, and are hyperresponsive when new email messages come in. The online world doesn\u2019t just provide us with things to do\u2014it provides us with new ideas for who we believe ourselves to be.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>On top of providing us with new stories, the digital world helps us to perpetuate our <em>existing<\/em> stories in ways that we\u2019ve never been able to. We\u2019re a world traveler, and so we constantly post updates to social media about the exciting lives we lead. We\u2019re an avid reader, so we share constant updates and quotes from the books we\u2019re in the middle of. We want to be seen as someone who is really into coffee (like, <em>really<\/em> into coffee), so we post photos from cafes all over town. The digital world helps us believe, and become attached to our stories in ways that we have never been able to before. We live our lives in the open, curating how others perceive us, and as a consequence of this, how we perceive ourselves.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>But here\u2019s the part that can lead to a lot of anxiety: <strong>when you believe in a story about yourself, you live and die by that story.<\/strong> After all, your identity is attached to it! When you think you\u2019re funny, and a hilarious tweet of yours gets no likes or retweets, you feel bummed out. When you\u2019re someone who loves traveling the world but you haven\u2019t been able to afford to go somewhere new, a part of you feels hollow. When you\u2019re a coffee aficionado and a popular coffee blogger shares something you posted, you feel euphoric. When you gain a few pounds and can\u2019t fathom posting about that on your Instagram fitness page, a certain part of your identity is shattered\u2014perhaps an identity you weren\u2019t so attached to before Instagram came along.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Anxiety comes from thinking we need to maintain all the stories we\u2019re juggling. <\/strong>With our digital lives we now have more stories attached to us than ever before\u2014and we also feel the need to constantly perpetuate the stories we believe in.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>But here\u2019s something else to consider: very few of the stories you occupy and perpetuate online actually matter. Your interests will come and go, and as a result, so will the things you post about. You\u2019ll gain and then lose a few pounds every so often, and your life will also change in ways you could never anticipate. All of this is fine. It\u2019s more than fine, it\u2019s just the way things go.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It\u2019s okay to visit a fancy cafe and just enjoy a cup of coffee. It\u2019s okay to go to the gym and not post about it anywhere. It\u2019s okay to travel somewhere and live in the moment; soaking in the views and the people without worrying about maintaining your online stories. In fact, doing this is <em>better<\/em>, because you get to <a href=\"https:\/\/chrisbailey.com\/smartphone-is-making-your-life-less-meaningful\/\">dive into experiences<\/a> more deeply.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Stories are powerful. The human mind is wired to believe in them, and live inside of them. But believing in too many stories about yourself is a recipe for stress and anxiety. Anxiety comes when your thoughts get tangled up with the stories you tell yourself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Pay attention to the stories you tell yourself and the world around you. They might be stressing you the hell out.<\/p>\r\n<hr class=\"footnotes\"><ol class=\"footnotes\" style=\"list-style-type:decimal\"><li id=\"fn1-11561\"><p >Credit to the fantastic book <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/30XjA3I\"><em>Sapiens<\/em><\/a> for providing these examples, and for making the case that storytelling is what makes us human.&nbsp;<a href=\"#rf1-11561\" class=\"backlink\" title=\"Return to footnote 1.\">&#8617;<\/a><\/p><\/li><\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we go about our lives, we tell ourselves a lot of stories about the kind of person we are and the life we lead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11563,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8,3785],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Why is everybody suddenly so anxious?
