Do you hate socialising? Are you avoiding going out lately? Anxious people don't make friends often and they avoid being a part of any gathering.
Another sign of anxious people is that they talk too much just to hide their mental duress. Sometimes they even go beyond the limit to disguise their worries.
Anxious people feel restless so they try to keep themselves as busy as possible to avoid engaging with people or in different activities.
Fidgeting is one of the physical symptoms of anxiety. People who are anxious keep shaking their legs, moving around, etc. So, the higher your anxiety level, the more fidgety you are.
Do you criticise yourself and others all the time? Worrying too much can make you believe a lot of things that are frightening and wrong. If you are too critical of everyone, including yourself, you might have anxiety.
While smiling often is good for stress, it is also a way of hiding anxiety. This way no one will ever know that you are unhappy about a certain situation.
Anxious people have a habit of showing their disagreement with other people or completely shutting them down.
One of the common things people with anxiety do is turn to addiction to take their minds off things that are bothering them. Smoking, substance abuse, and drinking alcohol could be a way out for anxious people.
