What exactly does scarcity feel like? I often have thoughts like “I am wasting time” and “I should be doing something else,” and it makes me feel very tight in my stomach, urgent, like a feeling of “I need to fix this right now.”

I usually call this panic, but I’m seeing that the nuance might be different. Is scarcity a feeling? The underlying way I’m feeling is like, “there’s a limited amount of time and I’m doing it all wrong and if I don’t fix this immediately I’m going to regret it for the rest of my life.” Nice, eh? lol.
