I think it is definitely important to respect other people's anxieties. We literally all have some and the only way to reach a state of inner peace is by finding to be acceptant of the things we feel. So anxieties are not something to deny in oneself or others, but to instead appease and see that we can grow past them.
Regarding conspiracy theories, I had a similar realization as the one you've had, that they in fact do me no good. I think it is well to keep a skeptic mind and retain an ability to see beyond things as we are told them to consider different possibilities. But in the end, one of the issues I see prominent in the USA (as a Canadian) is that there such a strong disbelief in what the medias says that it gave rise to a conspiracy culture that is utterly lost in confusion. I think being honest with oneself oftentimes result in admitting that you can't really know what is going on. We live in a day and age where you can find anything you want to hear on the internet, go read information about why the Earth is flat and you might just get convinced people who think it isn't are utterly dumb and this applies to anything like diet or conspiracy theories. People write things in a way they attempt to make it convincing and conspiracy theories are a big rabbit hole of not actually knowing things but creating theories on expecting the worse and what this does is just create a deep culture of low energies where a whole lot of people are feeding one another. Then again, I realize this is actually rooted in deep anxieties and can come to understand why it happens. It is just not something I want to entertain within myself and instead have come to a point where I do consider the possibilities and release the need to know, follow my gut feeling when needed.
One my lessons of this year was really about silence. That in silence I have a much keener perception to see through the illusion, while from the moment I have become convinced by something and am attempting to overly pass it on to someone in a way I am convinced I am right, then it is unlikely that what I hold in my mind has any great value. There are little or perhaps no absolutes in our reality, nothing fixed or unchanging. Everything is in constant evolution, so it serves little to retain finite thoughts and constructs within one's mind.
Otherwise, like others said, focusing on your inner being and connecting with nature is to me the best one can do for your own well being and growth. Human constructs are a whole mess of confused ideas and emotions, while nature is our greatest teacher. I especially am fond of the night, like nightly trips to a mountain, because I feel the night under a starry sky opens oneself to the cosmos and its mysteries.
