Rainn Wilson is chatting to fans about anxiety. The “Office” alum spoke openly about emotions and the coronavirus pandemic in the latest episode of SoulPancake’s “Hey There, Human”, offering some reassurance that it is okay to have anxieties and fear during this time. “Our fears and anxieties and our need to hoard are all really natural human instincts and impulses,” Wilson explained. “We are wired for anxiety… We were just animals just a short amount of time ago.
So if something pops up that startles us, we’re afraid. If we’re unsure of where a threat is coming from, we’re afraid. If we don’t know what’s gonna happen tomorrow, we’re afraid.
