Assuming they are otherwise physically and mentally capable, they can do it if they want to do it.

The hardest thing about life is not knowing.

Once you know that you don't know something, then you can try to know it.

I am talking as someone who spent a significant amount of my life thinking that I had to live and was consigned to living in one particular way, because I didn't know any other choice was open to me.

Right, but the assumption in this argument is too narrowing. When people get anxious of e.g. complaining, it’s their mental inability, not just lack of a proper method. People get anxious and procrastinative (which may be a result of unnoticed anxiety) a lot. It’s not something affecting only around 1%.
