Being a safety addict, or excessively prioritizing safety in all aspects of life, can inadvertently contribute to the escalation of health anxiety. This constant pursuit of safety and avoidance of potential hazards might initially seem prudent, but it can lead to an increased focus on and awareness of health-related threats, both real and imagined. Over time, this heightened vigilance can become a fertile ground for health anxiety to flourish. As individuals become more consumed by the need to prevent or control health risks, they may begin to interpret normal bodily sensations or minor health issues as signs of serious illness, thus entering a vicious cycle of anxiety and safety-seeking behaviors.
