Why is my anxiety so weird?

Why is my anxiety so weird?

1 Answer

Answer :

I’ve had anxiety all my life (I’m 67 and refuse medications to control it). I encourage you to not feel ashamed and accept the anxiety as part of your personality. It is part of who you are and if people don’t like it then that is their problem not yours. I can’t explain the uniqueness of your anxiety. It’s good for you to try to understand it. But don’t beat yourself up because of it. Try to accept it. My true friends accept me for who I am and I have plenty of friends. My nervous personality rubs some folks the wrong way and again, that’s their problem. Good health to you.
