Very, very common. A lot of people have anxiety disorders without actively realizing it or doing anything against it. You are not alone.

Yes, anxiety is common for people. Personally I think that everyone has at least one type of anxiety. It's just that some people know how to deal and cope with anxiety, so it can be a little bit harder to detect.

Of course you are never alone, 2/8 people suffer from some form of anxiety and even those who don't there are always going to be people you can turn to for protection, encouragement and just an ear to listen to.

I am not sure if it is "common" but you are not alone. I, too, experience anxiety from time to time.

Anxiety is very common. It just may not seem like it, because people who suffer from it often hide it for fear of being judged. But you are not in any way alone.

I think that a lot of people have anxiety, because even the smallest things can be considered anxiety symptoms. I think almost everyone has some kind of anxiety. I don't think a lot of people even realize they have anxiety because most of the people around them explain these same symptoms. So, you're not alone at all.

You are in no way alone. Anxiety is an incredibly common problem with wildly varying causes and severities. Many people who suffer from anxiety just don't admit it, making it seem like there are far fewer of them than there actually are.
