  1. Jean-Paul Sartre had this theory on the source of anxiety called the Gaze. Imagine you're alone on the planet. The Earth is covered by nature. It's very peaceful. One day you're walking along a thick wooded forest and you come upon a clearing, a wide opening, and far off in the distance you can see where the thick wooded area picks up again and there is another person standing there at the edge. The other person hasn't seen you yet, you see him as an object. Suddenly he gazes at you, now the subject object relationship flips, The anxious feeling of being watched arises. The subject that you were viewing is suddenly looking back at you on his terms. You are now the object.
