All men (and boys) are under assault from social forces and the resultant anxiety is a natural response. These forces berate you every minute about your supposed violent tendency, about rape culture, child maintenance, alimony and Manning up for women. In fact, "men need to man up" is the battle cry of every single woman older than 30.
Reducing the overall exposure and impact of Misandric Culture Anxiety on our lives can reduce the stress and anxiety that comes with it. Even some forms of cannabis are now demonstrating anxiolytic effects.
One thing is certain. Any efforts to address anxiety issues in men without an intense focus on narrative reconstruction are substandard. If a man want to reduce anxiety, he must change the expectations he places on himself which produce it. He shall also need to withdraw permission from the people in his circles, and society at large, to burden him with their expectations.
If for instance your anxiety is triggered by a desire to provide for a woman, creating anxiety lest you fall short or fail in your "duty," then you need to rewrite that narrative with one that changes your behaviour and attitudes.
