They feel frustrated and anxiety gets in the way of the life they want in many ways. They often overthink, second guess themselves, and feel worried about being able to control how and when anxiety shows up. It feels like their brain never shuts off and they have a hard time being alone with their thoughts and feelings. A lot of energy is spent on trying to avoid feeling anxious.
Despite doing everything right they feel like something is missing. They wonder why they feel so overwhelmed even when they are achieving goals. They often feel like an imposter and are embarrassed to fail.
They wonder why they don’t have clarity on what they want and they are afraid that everyone will discover they aren’t good enough.
They are people pleasers and worry they are pushing people away if they say “no”. Whether it’s at work or with family, they feel resigned to the needs of others. It’s easier to be the reliable one who doesn’t make waves then it is to give themselves a break. What they want is definitely not the most important thing.
