Anxiety is a state that anyone might experience at any given moment in their lives if they're faced by something challenging. If you are high on innate anxiety, due to heritable factors like we talked about in previous podcasts, and also if you're prone, let's say, to the inhibition or aversion or weariness aspects of this general territory, I'll call it a fear. Over time, people can acquire greater trait anxiety. And where that's really useful is to appreciate the ways in which we can become affected by our life experiences.
