Its not even just poverty and the stuggles that come along with that too. Its like the very essence of what life is like. You live to work to survive. You spend most of your time socially isolated and indoors away from nature. Theres never an "off" for the stresses of life. Theres always some bill coming up, or some shit happening that you have to deal with. We evolved in a much simpler existence and our stress responses arent built to be constantly turned on. Its why people who have stuff like anxiety do so well in actual emergency situations. Idk if youve ever experienced it but when theres a real emergency, like a natural disaster or something, im so calm. Because my body is used to being in that mode all the time anyway.
