I grew up around technology and yet ever since I was 6-7 years old I really felt like it breaking down is so unusually triggering for me. I can’t explain why. When it breaks down, incites a particular level of anxiety that is hard to compare.
To some of my friends, it’s just another task or errand, or for others it even invigorates them and makes them want to tinker, but for me, it’s always been a source of panic.

omg, yesss, when tech breaks down, it feels like the world is falling apart! 😩 even though some ppl see it as just a task, i totally freak out. it’s so frustrating when something isn’t working and you have no idea what to do. i just breathe deep and hope it gets better!
Not at all. You see I grew up in a world before tech took over. I understand the mechanics of things in order to solve any issue that may arise.
I find it rather humorous that a the moment you can’t rely on a machine to make your life easier you begin to panic.
If this is common, we are certainly fucked.
Did you have a parent who would freak out when something stopped working and they couldn’t figure it out? Especially if it was directed at you because you were the one using the thing? After some therapy, I’m pretty sure that where it started.
Can you share an example? “Technology breaking down” is really vague.
Just confirms my belief…. Computers, the machines that “almost” work.
