Hi everyone,
I was just wondering ... does anxiety necessarily have to be linked to a fear of something specific? Maybe that seems like a retoric question, and I thought i knew the answer... but i'm questioning things now. I was reading an article in the newspaper (a research article) and it was talking about how anxiety is "evaluating ambiguous cues as negative" and an "unconscious perceived signal of threat, such as a brief facial expression of fear."
And I've always experienced a certain level of anxiety... but lately, i've been places and i've felt anxious for no apparent reason. I'm not going anywhere, meeting new people, presenting or writing a test... nothing like that. And its not an intense level of anxiety where I can't do anything because of it.. i manage to get through it ... but now i'm all confused. What would I be anxious about?
Anyone? Thanks...
