10 Signs of Anxiety Disorder Disguised Behind Harmless Details

7People around you don’t understand you

In a larger social circle, you may experience a growing feeling of alienation. You feel that more and more people are distancing themselves from you as they do not understand you at all. They always complain about you being too fussy or pushy over small things which annoys people and hurts you. In return you start bottling up your feelings which would eventually lead to an explosion and nasty confrontation.

Make a note of what irritates you

It’s better that you make a mental note of things which annoys you a great deal but might be of little importance to others and try to manage those irritants yourself if you can. Do not expect too much from others. Instead of needing to be accepted by the larger group, it would be wiser to have a small circle of good friends. Learn to share such feelings and thoughts with a close friend or therapist.

9You blow issues out of proportion

If you look at it from a very logical perspective, when anxiety isn’t a physiological problem, then it is triggered by a thought. Some people tend to build up on the thought process especially when the outcome of any situation does not go their way or if they are being faced with a situation they feel they can’t handle. Before it happens, you already assume a negative outcome and think the worst.

Moreover, every possible situation is blown out of proportion like why someone hasn’t texted you or you may feel people are angry with you just because you feel so or that you may have said the wrong thing to soon and just can’t get it out of your mind.
