I can assure you other people feel the way you do. Your anxiety is caused by your brain being scared of failing or dissapointing others. It's not a weird thing, at all.

Overthinking causes me to believe everything is wrong when everything is actually fine. I'm sure many people feel this way, overthinking is known to be a common killer.

Good question, stress and depression are the main causes so try not to stress over things and don't try to do stressful things by learning to say no to people and this will decrease your stressing levels. Yes, you are not alone , other people feel the way that you are feeling.

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?
