Everyone is different, so some people feel anxious when alone and some feel anxious around others! All fears are valid because they are your emotions. I don't know if it is considered "normal," but I know that I certainly feel that way sometimes too.

Yes. Yes. Yes. I'm certain. A lot of our anxiety comes from our own self talk. Self talk is that internal conversation we have with ourselves When we are alone that internal self talk is the loudest. Even casual conversation with others can help reduce anxiety.

I think it is. Anxiety for me often stems off of fear of danger or harm. When one is alone, it makes sense that that fear would multiply, as there is one nobody to protect you from these sensed dangers.

Sometimes it can be, it all depends on what is happening that you feel this way. When I was with my boyfriend for a long time and when he left to go back home and it was back to my normal life, I felt a little "boyfriend sickness" like I was homesick missing him, but that's a little different.

it is very normal to feel more anxious when you're alone, because it is then when you feel most vulnerable and sad

Yes. Every human has the fear of rejection and being left alone. Anxiety is a normal response for a rational fear.

It can be, everyone handles anxiety differently. For some people its comforting to be alone and for others its a nightmare. I hope that you feel better. â¤

It is totally normal for you to feel anxious when alone! You may not know what to do or can't help your mind from wondering. This is totally normal! Try using grounding techniques to refocus and realize you're not alone.

It is very normal to feel like that because you are more vulnerable when you are alone and can feel unsafe because you have to deal with anything 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?
