Eli5: what is anxiety as a feeling and why does it seem like it’s becoming more common?

543 views

Im just having a genuinely hard time placing the feeling “anxiety”. The explanations I’ve seen have seemed like very normal behavior like feeling unmotivated about something or nervous of meeting someone.

I can’t say why it’s apparently becoming more prevalent; could be better diagnosis, excessive self-diagnosis, or that our way of life is putting excessive strain on people.

But as to what it is, I think the point you’re missing is that its feeling that way excessively, and/or without a “normal” reason to feel that way.
