Anxiety is reinforced as when we retreat, our fear is dramatically reduced. While this model is used to explain anxiety disorders, I believe this same theory can explain why I am afraid of girls. This also can explain why we have a natural tendency to not pursue the things we want. In what ways can we interrupt this cycle? How can technology help? I instantly think, we can make people aware of the whole process. You can also make escaping not an option. You can also change the reward base- yes you aren't anxious, but you lost a million dollars.
