Yes, but it is not so simple. It is also an acquired trait. Coping and adjusting is also a trait we learn from experience.

for some yes it does run in the family but it could also be that you are the first one to have anxiety in your family
I don't think it does, no. Because I have anxiety but no one else in my family that I know of has it. So I wouldn't think so and also it is a mental illness that can affect anyone so really it just depends how anxious or worrying of a person you are I think.
No, it is run from your thought. Know yourself, and make peace of it. It is normal to make mistakes. Ask someone else to help you solve it together. There will be people who want to help. Don't give up to ask and care
