Discussion: Things That Make You Anxious?

What makes you anxious? Is it social situations? Awkward situations? Failure?

For me, it’s the thought of people leaving me and answering the phone when I don’t know the number!

There all a lot of things that make me anxious, but mostly I’m fear of the unknown.

You know, when you have no idea much you got for your exam, like unknown results. Also, when someone is typing, mostly in an arguement, I’ll start to shiver.

I get that so much! I wish there was a way to disable the “is typing” function when you’re not feeling up to it :joy:

Everything, oof. Social events, knowing I’d have to talk to people, talking in general, calls, video calls, making people mad, not being good enough, failure, exams, driving…

Do you know what actually makes me close to a panic attack? Forget not knowing the number. It’s when someone chooses to withhold their number when they call you!

  • Ordering food
  • Cashiers
  • Waitresses

For many reasons, strangers scare me but people are always so rude to waitresses/waitors that I get scared I come across as rude just by ordering food even if I’m polite.

  • Calls from unknown numbers, even my doctor. Well I answer my doctor but no other unknown number.
  • Being asked a yes or no question
  • leaving the house
  • crossing the road

Speaking in other languages, no matter how well I speak them, makes me clam up because I’m worried about being corrected and looking stupid
