Is it normal to feel more anxious when you're alone?

I think it is. When we're busy and hanging out with people sometimes we don't have the time to feel anxious but when we're alone we can focus on these thoughts more and then we can make ourselves more anxious.

Anxiety comes from fear, and even though it's common that people feel anxious among others, it doesnt mean that the opposite isnt true. Anxiety comes in many forms, and none of them pretty. It might not be as popular, but it at least feels like any other kind of anxiety.

Yes, I think it is normal to feel more anxious when you're alone, (which isn't to say that it isn't normal for people to feel more anxious when they're with people). When you're alone, there aren't people around you to distract you from your thoughts of anxiety. You have the vulnerability and the "silence", so to speak, for your anxious thoughts to emerge and ambush you. There aren't any human barriers protecting you from them. Having anxiety is sometimes like a one-on-one conversation with yourself, laced with your doubts and fears. It's hard to be in more than one conversation at once, so when you're not around people, your anxiety finally gets a chance to speak up. Or, imagine that Anxiety is a person in a group discussion, and it can never get its thoughts heard, because everyone else is talking over it. So, your anxiety doesn't come out until you're alone, and no one else is there to distract you from it.

Yes. When one is alone, sometimes one tends to think a lot, and it might lead to overthinking and overthinking leads to anxious thoughts and feelings. When one feels anxiety sometimes they might make it worse by thinking about it.

Yes, totally! When you're alone, it can be much harder to distract yourself from whatever thoughts would be making you feel anxious.

Some people can handle loneliness others can't. But you can search for a way to feel better. Have you considered meditation, yoga or relaxation? maybe some therapy or help groups?

It very much is. Anxiety usually comes from our thoughts and when we're alone we pay more attention to our thoughts and they make us anxious. I suggest trying this where you observe your thoughts like a third person instead of getting all caught up in them. Pretend you're on the side of the road and your thoughts are all these cars, but make sure you never get in the traffic- if that makes any sense

It depends on the person, as to whether isolation makes you feel anxious or empowered. It is definitely not uncommon to experience anxiety when you're on you're lonesome.

Yes, it's very normal! When we're alone, we're not distracted anymore with people or things or events happening around us. When we're alone, it can feel like time has stopped and there's nothing going on anymore. This leaves us heaps of room to think about things we've suppressed and things we feel super anxious about, which makes us feel more anxious and the cycle continues.

The need for belonging is a basic human need, therefore being alone can feel "unnatural". If being alone causes anxiety you are having the same feelings as other people.
