If you are in a position to interview for jobs for fun, you are privileged.
Whooosh
idk man, employment kind of is a matter of life and death, and no amount of reframing is going to change that

I don't wanna give my money to such a psychologist who gives this advice
this is why psychiatrists are useless most of the time--they've never experienced what you're going through.
'just have fun' lol.
the entire reason you have anxiety is that you're incapable of achieving that mindset. it takes A LOT of work to undo all those crossed wires.
this advice is like dumb shit in a hollywood movie, like when good will hunting is cured because he gets a hug and someone tells him that 'it's not your fault.'

This might work for some, butt it would never work for someone like me who manages to have a panic attack playing a video game im having fun with

To have healthcare in the United States relies on a job so it inevitably makes it a literal life or death for some…

>Just don't worry bro lol
What if I don't think those things are fun?
IMHO, just see through the whole illusion instead. End the suffering. See that it's all based on false assumptions. Try Sam Harris app "Waking Up". Check out "the ten fetters". If any of those things ring true to you, you're in a good way. Don't take my word for it. Don't take Sams word for it, or Kevins. This is all done by yourself,for yourself. You will know if it's bullshit or not.

I guess I don't want to shit on this advice too much, for non-pathological anxiety it can be helpful. Reframing situations to be less intense is a useful tool in your mental toolbox to alleviate stress.
However, pathological anxiety isn't really related to the importance ascribed to a situation. Here's some things that cause my anxiety to be an issue:
- Self-flagellation - Let's spend the afternoon, evening and all night reliving every mistake I've made since childhood.
- Ego dystonic intrusive thoughts - "If you cut your throat with a sharp enough knife it won't even hurt." Thanks brain, very helpful.
- Nothing at all - "Hey who wants to have a panic attack for absolutely no reason? You do!"
I don't think "Do it for fun" is amazing advice for these situations. I'll stick to my meds and my doctor's advice.
Do it for the Vine.
