It’s that constant worried feeling that something is going to go wrong all the time. You feel like you know exactly what people are thinking and it’s always bad. You hyperfocus on body language and the ways people say things. Feeling on edge like you’re being watched or you’re near danger but for no reason all the time. This is more along the lines oh how I would describe more servere anxiety reactions.
As to why it’s becoming more common, I would say it’s less that people are more anxious but more that there’s more awareness of it. Most mental illnesses are seeing a rise in affliction counts due to awareness and the acceptance of mental illnesses as treatable rather than something that will get you locked away and outcast from society. Though I would have to do more research personally to get more detailed.
