Sure, cause our brain overthink when we're alone and we don't have many things to do, try to do something when anxiety becomes hard

yes, when we are alone we are at our most vulnerable. So yes it is completely normal. When we are surrounded by familiar things we aren' scared, but when those things are taken away, we are vulnerable.

Yes, some people feel more anxious when they are alone, whether it's because they feel less safe without company, or because they don't have someone to distract them from their own worries.

Of course! I know I certainly do! Because when your alone you have time to think and let your mind wonder! When your alone listen to music, dance, wat h your favorite movie, phone a friend!!

No. I believe if you examine your own experiences of when you are alone how often you are not anxious at all. Try this and you will find that what I say is true,

Yes, I get this too. For me, I think it's because when I'm around people, I tend to forget about what I was worrying about, but when I'm alone with no one to take my mind off it, it all comes back.

It's different for everyone. Its entirely possible you feel more anxious when alone because we take comfort in other for distraction. try and stay busy when your alone.

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?
