I don't understand the meaning of "Mom friend anxiety override"

[-] dawnglider@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 hours ago

I have terrible anxiety, but when people around me are as anxious (or more) than me, I suddenly feel I can push through any anxiety barrier. As far as I'm concerned it's a shift in expectation: going from being expected to be a normal functional social being to being expected to struggle in front of an insurmountable task ahead. It's broader than just anxiety too, but I think this might be what they mean by "mom friend anxiety override"😊

Oh god, I'm the Mum Friend with the anxiety override. I'm total garbage at this for myself but as soon as I'm sitting in a room with other anxious beans it's like the superpower activates.

I'm not going to explicitly recommend it, as 'results may vary from one user to the next', but it's funny and bears consideration.
