Embrace Reality, Avoid Control

Existential psychology emphasizes that combating uncontrollable elements leads to inauthentic actions and heightened anxiety. Efforts to assert control, such as tracking a partner's phone, do not foster trust but rather amplify irrational fears. This misguided approach feeds into the illusion of security, where individuals believe they can prevent deception through surveillance. Genuine understanding of one's limitations and acceptance of reality are crucial for reducing anxiety and improving relationships.
