Bhagavad Gita Chapter 1, Verse 6

युधामन्युश्च विक्रान्त उत्तमौजाश्च वीर्यवान् | सौभद्रो द्रौपदेयाश्च सर्व एव महारथाः ||

yudhāmanyuś ca vikrānta uttamaujāś ca vīryavān saubhadro draupadeyāś ca sarva eva mahā-rathāḥ

The valiant Yudhamanyu and the powerful Uttamauja; the son of Subhadra (Abhimanyu) and the sons of Draupadi — all of them are indeed great chariot warriors.

Duryodhana ends his list with 'all great chariot warriors indeed' — notice that anxious emphasis. He is calling even young warriors like Abhimanyu and Draupadi's sons 'great warriors'. These are barely young men, and yet in his fearful mind they have become overwhelming threats. This is exactly what anxiety does: it magnifies. When you are in fear mode, everything appears bigger and more dangerous than it actually is. The superlatives — 'valiant', 'powerful', 'great' — are not real observations, they are distortions. Fear does not just add stress; it warps reality itself.
