Having anxiety does not mean you are crazy or mental. Having anxiety can sometimes be a healthy fear that prevents us from getting into bad situations. However, too much anxiety can keep us from enjoying life. We need coping mechanisms.

No, anxiety is a common thing that people feel. I personally do not know the reason why, but it does not mean you are crazy.

No it does not, having an anxiety disorder just means that certain situations cause more stress to them than it would cause someone else.

Having anxiety doesn't mean you crazy it just means you have a little more trouble adjusting to social situation rather than people without anxiety

Not at all! Feeling anxious is completely valid and does not mean you're crazy! If it becomes too much to handle, you should talk to a friend or trusted adult.

Definitely not!
Mental illnesses are such a widespread thing, no two are the same. Anxiety is actually really common, whether it be severe or minor. You're not alone!

No it definitely doesn’t. And it’s okay to struggle with this. Accepting that anxiety is a normal issue and is the way to moving forward and creating a better self.

No it just means you get a little bit nervous in some situations and with that you also get anxious

Having anxiety is certainly one of the hardest things. It is unreal at times, but it doesn't mean you're mental, not at all. There is a lot of stigma around mental health/illness and unfortunately, the idea that insanity is associated with it is part of that.
