I used to be the very same but what really changed me, and it genuinely did, was thinking about the insignificance of the world, of everything in our lives and everyone in them. We are on a tiny little rock, orbiting one of billions of stars in the galaxy, which is itself one of millions and billions of galaxies. And we're all playing this silly little game. So next time you're worried about going to an interview say, or meeting someone you've never met before just think utterly meaningless it all is. It sounds overly simplistic, but really the attitude to have is: who gives a shit?
(Note: This most certainly does not to apply to everyone and if you have chronic anxiety, it's often a lot more complex than this and you ought to see a Dr.) |

The problem with this line of thinking is, that you might ask yourself: why should I give a shit about life at all?
What is than the point of life?
I'm not saying, that the "universal" perspective can't help sometimes, but you have to be careful how you apply it.
