Getting out of the hole.

There are HUGE, radical, and extreme rabbit holes.

And there are very subtle ones.

The first category is well-represented in the world of conspiracy theories.

The second one is for everything else.

As human beings, we build a story around who we are, where we came from, and where we hope to go to.

We regard ourselves in a very specific way.

We believe to be shy or confident, cool or boring, adventurous or anxious.

We think we are talented or terribly average.

We talk about ourselves as beautiful or unattractive.

And all these beliefs become part of our self-image.

Like a statue built from ideas.

And the rabbit holes are everywhere.

It’s when ideas lead to new ideas in the same category.

So you start by being just a bit uncomfortable, but after a while, you look at life through the eyes of a person with anxiety disorder.

Something happens to you, in relation to another person, and the tiniest bit of disappointment can eventually grow into a mountain of distrust.
