Default Anxiety and the shamers

This is something that's making me more and more upset the more I read it or hear it or it happens to me. What ever happened to compassion for others?

The world is filling with angry, resentful sounding shamers. I see it all the time lately. Here, there, everywhere. It's directed at others and I also feel it myself by people who should know better. The comments from medical staff like "stop being so anxious. you're so anxious you're making me anxious". Really? How awful for them. It's not a tap that can switch on and off.

Stop shaming people because they are anxious or have an anxiety disorder. If necessary talk about ways of helping but gosh, stop with all the put downs as if we're all anxious on purpose and going out of our way to annoy them.

Just venting. This has been really upsetting me lately.
