Yes, some people get their energy from being around other people. In order to make this better, it is important to have a good accepting relationship with yourself.

In a lot of cases yes. For me, when I get anxious when I am alone I know it is because I want people to be around me and feel safe around the presence of others. It is certainly normal and you can find the way that is best for you to deal with it and help yourself feel less anxious during alone time.

Yes, this is totally normal! We're given more space to allow our minds to wander over anything and everything. Once we begin to consider one thing, we tend to analyze it further and further until we've driven ourselves to see the negative in given situations. We also tend to jump to negative conclusions over positive. You're not alone!

Yes, of course it’s really normal and natural feeling. It’s okay to feel more anxious when you’re alone. List up the things you’d like to do when you’re anxious, such as grabbing a teddy bear and watching an old movie.

I personally feel more anxious when I am alone. I start to think of everything that I did wrong during the day and what could happen. Being alone makes my anxiety worse because I have nothing to distract me from my thoughts.

Yes, it is normal. Often times when we do not have a person there to distract us, our anxious thoughts invade our minds. It can be a terrifying experience and you are not alone in that.

Yes because that is when you can start overthinking more and feeling more anxious and panicky you need to try and keep yourself busy even if it's just watching tv or reading.
