Hey Psych2Goers, welcome back! If you’re currently suffering from anxiety. Have you wondered why you have anxiety? Since when have you started to get nervous all the time? In some cases, anxiety can be caused by how you were raised as a child. Your upbringing may have had a significant impact on why you experienced so much anxiety. So here are seven signs of anxiety caused by your upbringing. #1 You are self-critical. Do you pick at your flaws or criticize yourself for no reason? You may be doing it because you have critical parents. When your parents overly focus on your flaws. You may also grow up only focusing on them. According to Iancu, Bodner, and Ben Zion. Self-criticism is highly related to social anxiety disorder. You may end up blaming yourself for things that are out of your control or not your fault. #2 You have low self-esteem. Do your parents always compare you to others? Does it make you feel inadequate? Growing up in an environment where you’re constantly compared to others can harm your self-esteem. You may feel bad about yourself for failing to meet your parent’s expectations. This low self-esteem can carry on through your life… …because of the constant fear of not being good enough. #3 You think negatively. Did your parents always tell you to prepare for the worst? If they constantly focus on the worst-case scenario. Their behaviors can probably affect your mindset. While it may be normal to recognize the worst-case scenario in each situation. It can eventually lead your mind to focus on only the negative. This form of repetitive and negative thinking can generate a lot of anxiety. #4 You fear being judged. Did your parents seem to have something negative to say about everything and everyone? Having judgmental parents can have a significant impact on you.
Conditioned by judgmental parents at an early age. You may struggle with worry and fear of what others think about you. Their emphasis is on the opinion of others instead of on social initiatives and family sociability. This may lead to social anxiety. #5 You are overly cautious. Did your parents tend to constantly check on you when you’re not around them? If you have overprotective parents,
there’s a chance that you may be overly cautious. This is because having overprotective parents may condition you at a young age to be wary of everything. It can lead to having a certain worry and fear of things that are unknown to you. Although it can be beneficial to be overly cautious at times. It can also lead to a lot of anxiety. #6 You fear relationships. Do you find yourself scared about forming relationships? This fear may have stemmed from growing up in a separated family. Since you may fear that your current relationships will end up with the same outcome. Having neglectful parents could also cause you to fear relationships… …because it could make you think that your partner will neglect you in the same way. And #7 You doubt yourself. Have you ever said to yourself… What if I’m doing it wrong? Or am I making a mistake? Your parents’ constant criticism of your ability…can result in you developing constant self-doubt as you grow up. This will also cause you to have a higher risk of developing anxiety disorders in childhood. Do you relate to any of these signs? Let us know in the comments below!
