Neil introduces a new approach to anxiety and hopes that folks will feel more comfortable publicizing their private anxieties as a way to overcome them.
“I wasn’t very open about [it]… I [gave] a fairly convincing impression of having things mostly together. I was putting up an image. And that was bad for me, because I didn’t get to share my problems with anybody else…but it was bad for others too, because they didn’t get to see the truth. And if we all put up an image, then everyone struggles alone.”
