There is no such thing as absolute truth or absolute reality.
Instead, we use terms like "opinion" or "perspective". And that does not have anything to do with absolute reality or truth, it instead makes everybody's reality and truth different.
So with the concepts of absolute truth and absolute reality being gone all we have left are individual differences in perspective and opinion.
There is no wall of logic, truth or reality to bounce these things off of because they're different for everyone.
And if everyone has a different reality, that is not reality at all. The fact that what I think is okay, and what isn't, is completely different than what someone else would say the same things are, In other words we are all living in completely different realities.
Then add the fact that every single person in the whole world, all 8 billion of us, have a different reality and a different truth.
And when it comes to Anxiety, you need as much absolute truth and absolute reality you can get because the only other thing that exists in that situation is horrible anxiety about what's real and true and what isn't.
It can get really tangled up man and it's very hard for someone with a black and white mind to live in a world of such gray area, and there being no absolute truth or reality
It kind of leaves you wondering what the hell is going on most of the time.
I think that’s exactly why uncertainty can feel so unbearable at times. When your mind desperately wants one fixed truth, living among millions of different perspectives can feel deeply destabilising. Thank you for articulating that so clearly.

You're very welcome.
That’s so relatable, especially the part about remembering the memory from its previous recall.
Nicely written !
Thank you. That part changes the way you look at your own memories a little once you realise it.
