"Present fears are less than horrible imaginings"—a perspective that emphasizes how the stories we tell ourselves influence our mental well-being and reactions to fear.
Bright individuals have greater imaginations and emotional intensities but are more susceptible to anxiety due to their expansive emotional brain networks and heightened responses to stressors.
