4 Behaviour Indicators of Anxiety
4 Behaviour Indicators of Anxiety
Anxiety often manifests through specific behavioural patterns that may seem challenging but are crucial to recognise for effective support.
Anger: Anxiety can trigger defensive responses, leading to frustration and impatience that appear as anger. This reaction is not intentional but a natural response to overwhelming feelings and perceived threats.
Avoidance: To protect themselves from discomfort, anxious people may avoid certain activities, places, or people. This avoidance is their way of managing anxiety.
Constant Worry and Overthinking: Anxious people tend to overthink and excessively plan as a way to control uncertainty. This can make them feel perpetually on edge and unable to enjoy spontaneous moments.
Lack of Focus: Anxiety can distract a person, making it hard to concentrate on tasks. Their minds are preoccupied with worries, affecting their ability to focus effectively.
Recognising these patterns allows for better understanding and support of an anxious person, helping them develop coping skills to manage their feelings.
