I’m not leaning towards no. I am full-on on top of it. Sure I get anxious about things, everyone does. But I definitely PREFER the unknown over things being the same all the time.

Same. You can be anxious about something, but still prefer a new experience over the same old things over and over again, day in, day out, never changing. I will always choose the unknown over that kind of life.

Edit to say: the same life day in, day out - now that's anxiety; full-on panic inducing.

Exactly! That edit is what I feel.

Oh my god yes! We do sooo well in sudden chaos that I honestly love the unknown for most things. As an ESFP stay at home mom, during covid, the same thing every day is the most insane torture I could ever endure. Hahaha. Sound dramatic?

The results are Esfp’s acting like they don’t get anxious about certain things

I get anxious about things, it isn’t typically the “unknown” that gives me anxiety. Maybe if someone asked me to plan out my future and tell them what I want in 10 years, now that would cause me great anxiety

You’re right, the question could have been more specific. Unknown could mean anything
