What's the difference between anxiety and just being nervous?

Nervousness is a reaction anxiety is a condition.

Being nervous is a feeling you get when you are doing something or waiting for something and then it passes when that certain thing is over but anxiety is always there and you worry about everything. You dont know how to stop it or why you are worrying but you do.

Anxiety is a condition when a person feels stressed, worried or has a fear regarding something. It is a hesitation to try something new or different, in case the situation turns bad. Nervousness is a state of mind where a person loses self-confidence and becomes worried regarding certain situations.

Believe me anxiety is a lot worse that only being nervous,an you can always think about something else what would make you feel better and it will be over but with anxiety it isn't really that easy

Being nervous is just a symptom of having anxiety. Anxiety brings a lot to the plate and there are many different kinds of the disorder, while nervousness is just an emotion that comes with being a human.

when you are about to do something out of your comfort zone, you feel nervousness. And even if you are doing something within comfort zone but you are feeling not natural and nervous. That is Anxiety.

Anxiety is another level of being nervous. It affects you a lot more, it needs to be treated or it can affect your lifestyle.

anxiety is far more intense and constant. for example, if you've finished a test, and you're not sure about how you did and you feel a little antsy and scared of your result, but it blows over quickly, that would just be you being nervous. anxiety keeps coming back if you let it or if something triggers it. it's far more intense. you can't get 'nervous attacks' but you can get 'panic attacks' , where someone might feel sick to their stomach or find it hard to breathe or actually cannot breathe. it varies from person to person. anxiety is a burden that sits with you unless you learn to overcome it. nervous is just a quick flash of anxiousness, and it goes away fast, whereas anxiety never really does go away forever. it's always ready to creep up on you.

Anxiety is reoccurring and interferes with daily life, whereas being nervous can be a one time event. However the feeling of anxiety is the same as feeling nervous, but in some cases much more intense.

Nervousness comes and goes at times where you are stressed. Anxiety is different. It is like an overwhelming sense of loss of control of your thoughts and behaviours.
