They can probably see it from your behavior. So if they know you and see how you behave they can tell that you are anxious.

That totally depends on the people around you. Most people might not notice unless it's a situation where you are "in the spotlight", having a presentation in front of the class, for example. But then again it really depends on the person, their empathy, their own experiences (maybe even with anxiety) etc. Some people might also think that anxious people are just shy. I imagine that close friends might notice it more often, but not necessarily everyone.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
