@iammarkmanson: Learning to sit with not knowing might be the most underrated life skill there is. Most of us spend our whole lives fighting the one thing we can't control.
Ah another video telling me what’s wrong but no advice on how to fix it.

Correct: many forms of psychological suffering are amplified by our inability to tolerate uncertainty.

The human brain loathes pain with a vengeance. Anyone who thinks otherwise simply hasn't experienced pain on a level that shatters their naive worldview.

Yes and no. What makes the brain feel uncertain?
It's the lack of psychological safety, which is basically loneliness.
Because safety in its core is "whatever will happen, we will make it". So we need connection in our pack.
Without that we are scared. And fear is then the source what you mentioned.

It’s called control, an arrogance believing one’s ability to maintain control over all events. Release yourself from the burden of what you can’t control and set yourself free!

We crave certainty in a world that is full of uncertainty.

You are wildly oversimplifying and mischaracterizing OCD

I think it’s just having an ultimate certainty. Faith in something gives people the certainty in something that allows them to be uncertain in other things.

For me, when my brain panics because it's anticipating that what I am going to do is very difficult. I pause and thinks "what if it's easy".

Everything felt like it was collapsing around me when I was holding on too tight.
After learning to let go and let today be enough for me. My anxiety and depression has reduced

Maybe. The worst part of my fear of rejection might be not knowing wether someone is going to reject me while having a strong feeling they are going to without seeing any clear signals that is confirming this fear for certain

Demian :
this is exactly right besides the grief part. grief is real. if your loved one dies, you're not going to say "oh it's because I'm not comfortable with uncertainty." something has actually died and grief is the process we go through when that happens.

When it comes to my anxiety I found that I had to confront and learn to deal with what actually scared me instead of avoiding it. Not exactly the same as uncertainty tho
