Are you an anxious person?

[Empired]

Would you say you're a particularly anxious person? Has it changed over the years? What do other people think about you - would you say it's a fair reflection?

I only really have anxiety when it's work related. I always convince myself I will miss my alarm and then be late for work, or do something wrong and get told off for that instead. I never have been late due to missing an alarm though (I was almost close once, but it was 5:30 in the morning and my sister was like aren't you at work at 7) so she made sure I was awake luckily.

yes even as a child i remember being v nervous. i think i will always have it. although it is reduced now, i still get days where it's in overdrive but i never let it continue to the next day. yes it's obvious im anxious, ppl do point it out to me, it's a fair reflection.

[scottish]

No, I don't experience feelings.

I was incredibly so for a number of years, but my social anxieties have settled a lot which I'm glad about. I still have anxiety attacks sometimes though where I literally cannot stop shaking. It seems to be caused when I get really worried about something.

[Absently]

yeah. it can prevent me from leaving the house and makes me overthink quite a lot. during exam periods it makes me quite sick. i've had it throughout my entire life and it lessens at certain points or can completely disappear. i find having a job helps it quite a lot. only the past several months i have felt comfortable enough to speak about it openly or even pin it down to anxiety, whereas before i just considered myself a bit of a nuisance or lazy in certain cases.

Incredibly so! Although quitting college and working for 6 years did help I think! Sort of forced me to be a bit braver when it comes to talking to people and stuff! :P Uni has helped a lot too! I still get days where sometimes I just can't face being social/people or going out but most of the time it's a lot better now :)

[Nick]

no not really

[Elegance]

definitely but i think i've progressed over the past few years considering in like 2010 to about 2014 i'd have frequent panic attacks and i literally couldn't start a conversation at all, i still get anxious when doing certain things but definitely not to the point that it prevents me from going about my daily life

[Inseriousity.]

I used to be. I still avoid parties and things like that cos it's not really my scene. I'm not very good at socialising and it's because I'm just naturally anxious in that sort of environment. I still get anxious sometimes. I think it took me so long to get a job because I just get really nervous during interviews. I developed strategies to control it but even then it didn't always work.

Despite all that, I'm currently in the middle of a civil war at work where it's me vs management (they changed something I disagreed with) and that isn't really the behaviour of someone who is anxious so I'm getting a lot better. They're at a disadvantage cos I've had plenty of practice in the Habbox Feedback forum :P

normally no but sometimes if im in a certain mood that day i'll be really nervous

noticed though i'm more blunt than a lot of people i know

[thms]

definitely was nervous a lot as a child and sometimes i am very anxious depending on the situation and how i'm feeling, i'm wayyyy too in my head about things at times and allow it to take control of what i'm going to do with myself that particular day or it stops me from doing something. usually when i push through and do it anyway, it makes the feeling of being anxious / having reservations for that particular thing seem so stupid and pointless

[Ekelektra]

Yep I'm a pretty anxious person I get worried about things all the time and I think it's gotten worse more recently like I noticed the other day I get so nervous when people are arguing or debating even if it's not a heated argument and I wasn't like that before. And I'm very socially anxious although I think that's started to get better although I'm still super shy. I don't recall being a a nervous child though shy yes but not anxious.

As for if people think I'm anxious I don't think so. Like my doctor the other day told me I'm always so cool and calm but really it's because I always get so worked up about things for days before so when it's not as bad as I had imagined I'm all calm.

[lawrawrrr]

Literally all the time, I panic and get anxious over even the small things and overthink/analyse EVERYTHING. My first week at my new job last week was tough but I'm really proud that I didn't have a panic attack or anything :D

I think I'm a bit better than I used to be, got a thicker skin and know when to walk away or not engage which does help me and I'm trying to get used to being social again slowly too... it's going well so far!

[Prosiary]

Yeah, I get anxious over the slightest things, I think I wasn't as anxious a few years ago, before GCSEs thats when it started getting bad. I'm close to going the doctors with it but I just need to get the courage to do so :( I'm horrible in social situations with people who I hardly know, just makes me really anxious.

I have tried these sites like calm.co.uk and such but they dont seem to work as good as they did a while back :(

[.:TaylorSwift:]

Yes with separation when I was until 13. I have social anxiety with very large groups

Eh in certain circumstances, yes. Usually the idea of being late to something that isn't simply meeting up with people makes me anxious, though I realised the other day this doesn't affect me as much as it used to.

[OldLoveSong]

have had social and generalized anxiety mainly in highschool where i refused to go to school and didnt want to leave my house. Got much better over the years and now the only thing i have related to it is overthinking everything.

I'd consider myself a very anxious person. It varies depending on different things but I'm patiently waiting for me to start not caring about stuff.
