Symptom #10: Irrational Fears
One of the basic things about anxiety is that it’s a worry about something that hasn’t happened yet. There are also a lot of irrational fears that can emerge when someone is anxious, that can be very specific or very broad. For example, they may fear getting hit by a car every time they cross a crosswalk, which is extremely unlikely.
Fears like this can have a negative impact on a person’s lifestyle and can be severely limiting. Irrational fears can prevent someone from enjoying themselves socially, from getting out of the house, or from succeeding in the area they wish to.
