1. Restless Nights

Your mind’s a 24/7 diner—always open, serving up a hefty slice of “what-ifs” and re-runs of every awkward thing you’ve ever done, at 3 a.m.

2. Worry Wart Supreme

You worry. About everything. Even worrying about how much you worry. If worrying was an Olympic sport, you’d have gold.

3. Nervous Nelly Energy

You’ve got more nervous energy than a squirrel after six espressos. Sitting still? Impossible. You’re always tapping, bouncing, or pacing.

4. Catastrophe is Your Middle Name

To you, every text that doesn’t get an instant reply means someone’s either mad or in a ditch. There’s no in-between.

5. Social Battery on Low

Socializing feels like it needs more prep than a moon landing. Even thinking about parties or meetings drains your energy.

Recognize yourself in these? It might be time to find ways to manage that anxiety.
