Is anxiety something you are born with?

I'm really not sure if anxiety is something you are born with or not....it seems like something you might be.

I think that anxiety is something we experience when conditions are not right like high stress and extreme pressure.

yeah, it is. anxiety is part of human and every other being's instinct to stay alive and survive the world. it's natural, but the level of anxiety varies.

You can be genetically predisposed to be more likely to experience anxiety. So yes, you can sometimes be born with anxiety.

I personally think that anxiety is developed over time. I got anxiety around the time I was nine. :/

Yes. My mom reported that the night I was born, I was startled in my crib by a nurse closing the door.

Anxiety is what everyone has. It is a defense mechanism in our body, some are moderate, some suffers from anxiety disorder. I personally don't use to have anxiety disorders but society has molded me to one with judgement and harsh criticism, I became afraid of opening up, and sometimes, anxious when I have to be on camera or stand on stage. Fortunately, it is something I acknowledge and am working on getting better at.

No, anxiety is something shaped by the people around you, your situations, and the emotions encouraged as a child. Some people are more susceptible to it due to conditions or genes, but most of it is influenced by those around them.

From my experience, anxiety isn't something that you are born with although some may be more prone to developing anxiety, anxiety is a gradual process that often relates to a hidden fear, either from past traumas or present problems.

It's a feeling which is felt by everyone at some point of time in their lives. It's just that diffrent people feel it during different kind of situations .
