instead it&#39;s a term many people can  relate to when they have anxiety and can  still carry out everyday tasks  at a functional level it could be the  valedictorian in your class  your co-worker who has an exceptionally  polished resume or it might even be you  it&#39;s no surprise that this has become  widely relevant when roughly 40 million  adults  struggle with anxiety when someone tells  you you&#39;re fine  or always has a smile plastered on their  face they might actually need your help  here are 10 signs of high functioning  anxiety  1.<\/p><br><p>You&#39;re an overachiever do you  consider yourself a perfectionist  type a and a planner people with anxiety  always feel like they need control  in order to feel at ease whether it  means making big to-do lists  showing up at a meeting early or staying  up late studying for a test  they already memorized by heart the  individual stays busy  in order to feel productive one research  study shows that it&#39;s only when you feel  in control  that you can deal with stress two  no is rarely used in your vocabulary  getting things done  becomes more important than your health  if you sacrifice eating meals on time or  cancel plans with friends to do someone  else  a favor you might have high functioning  anxiety  you&#39;d rather suck it up and get the work  done instead of saying no  fearing that it might pile up otherwise  you may also be afraid to reject others  afraid that you&#39;ll hurt them so you bite  the bullet and you hurt yourself instead  3.<\/p><br><p>What is sleep apparently never enough  for people with anxiety  how can it be when you&#39;re constantly  tossing and turning in bed  consumed by your worries anxiety doesn&#39;t  need a reason to keep you up  you have everything checked off your  to-do list and still worry about a  million other things  4. you crack cynical jokes for fun are  you sarcastic  or make jokes about dying chances are  you aren&#39;t as happy as you seem when you  tell the punchline  if you&#39;re laughing and putting on a show  when you&#39;re actually suffering  this is anxiety it forces you to  entertain and mask your intensities  behind your witty combat  remember you don&#39;t have to put up a  front lower your guard and tell people  what&#39;s going on  5. negative self-talk is common and it&#39;s  so common that you don&#39;t even consider  it negative  just your usual way of thinking people  with anxiety are the hardest on  themselves  they can stand in front of the mirror  and pick out flaws at a snap of a finger  or beat themselves up if they make one  minor mistake  they don&#39;t give themselves a break  always seeking to be a better worker  student citizen the list goes on  six your coworkers consider you a  mystery  you might be the helpful reliable worker  everyone loves  so it&#39;s no surprise that you&#39;ll get  asked to go out once it&#39;s time to clock  out but you&#39;ll usually decline  remaining an enigma other people will  find it hard to read you  not because you want to seem cold or  detached but letting loose and  socializing without preparing ahead of  time  actually terrifies you 7.<\/p><br><p><img

during a horror  movie but are you startled even during  the slightest disturbance  afraid that others might find you  spineless therapist and right  says you may resort to unhealthy habits  such as drinking  drugs or endless social media scrolling  as a distraction  eight bad days are normal for you  excessive ruminating  panic attacks and an inability to relax  have all become ingrained in your daily  routines  that good days become once in a blue  moon but instead of outwardly  complaining or calling up a friend to  talk about it  you might just bottle it up since it  happens every week  you worry that others will find you  annoying or a burden  nine you constantly seek validation  anxiety makes rationality  hard to achieve that&#39;s why the  individual often seeks logic from others  they fear their judgment isn&#39;t enough so  they rely on the support and guidance of  friends  family and co-workers they don&#39;t mean to  lean on people 24 7  but it significantly quiets down their  loud thoughts  on the flip side however some may worry  about being a burden  so they choose to suffer silently  instead of reaching out to others  10.<\/p><br><p>You&#39;re afraid of letting people down  you don&#39;t know how to break the news to  your loved ones  if you&#39;re not happy with your so-called  dream career or don&#39;t want the same  things as them  you often succumb to other people&#39;s  expectations working hard to be a role  model  and no matter how tired you are of being  you your anxiety will push you to  continue performing  as if your whole life counts on it
