It is totally normal. Because you're alone you're more in your own thoughts with no escape or some then to talk too.

Absolutely! Some people feel anxious when they're alone, others feel anxious in company - sometimes people get a mix of both! Anxiety is quite complex and to be honest it varies from person to person, but it is not uncommon to feel anxious when you're alone - I often do, some company will often make me feel at ease so I don't feel so isolated, but hey that's why I've got two puppies!

Anxiety always has more of a negative of present effect on me when I am alone. When we are alone, we sometimes feel the need to obsess over thoughts and hypotheticals because we are not surrounded and supported by distractions, loved ones, and healthy activity.

Yes, because no one is there to take your mind off what is making you anxious and create those distractions.

Being alone makes you prone to living inside of your head, which in turn, can bring anxiety and depression.

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?
