I don't know, I am a naturally anxious person even before I started reading the news daily, and I'm fine. Seeing the brutal chaos of the world definitely makes me appreciate the peace at home more. It's a grounding experience to be aware of the good and bad things that happen in the world.
I have no way to prove this, and likely you don’t either, but it’s likely it is affecting you but you are simply not aware of it.
probably making him "naturally anxious" lol
