1. avoiding eye contact 2. grinding your teeth 3. Waking up at intervals throughout the night 4. chewing your lip

*chews on my lips, bite my nails, has terrible eye contact with people, can’t talk to a large crowd without stumbling over words, bounced leg constantly, peels my skin* me: I think I’m being dramatic

What’s interesting to me is that I find myself being more anxious when I’m doing every day things than when I’m in the dance world even if I’m backstage about to perform it’s less stressful than when I’m doing school work

Bruh, when they said “bouncing your leg” you better believe that during my online class (or whenever I sit down) my right leg goes BRRRRR-

looking someone in the eyes is fvcking creepy damn it looks like they are looking stright in my soul lol

“Do you find yourself chewing on your lip?” Me who was just biting and peeling on them: 🌚

This explains my face pain, and all the jaw pain. I wake up feeling like I've been socked in the jaw. I now can't stop making a weird face because of anxiety, it sucks. I wish I could get over this.

really felt the eye contact one. the only person i can give eye contact to fully now is my boyfriend, and for almost the first year of our relationship, i couldn't even look at his face. makes me proud of how far i've come.

her: do you bite your bottom lip? me: uh- no also me moments before: *biting my lip and pulling the chapped skin off*

I shake my right leg when i feel anxiety and break my knuckles in every possible way when i'm stressed.

Me looking my dad in the eye when he's angry as a desperate attempt to be brave: Can't look at anyone's eyes anymore

"Waking up at intervals throughout the night" Me: Remembers a few years ago when I would only be getting 5 hours sleep A WEEK 😥

am i the only one who's scared or afraid walking pass the people in the streets or any places but still want to make myself look like a strong independent woman even though the anxiety level inside me reached a hundred percent lmao

*"Depression is not wanting to die but wishing you were never born"*

in generally i -chew my cheeks/lips/nails (in extreme cases, bite it) -shake my legs/stim in multiple ways (hand shaking, fingers flatting, move my hands/wrists fast...) -i have tics, sometimes vocals like "yeah !" "waow !" -whistles and "pops" w my lips -blinking -brutal heads/arms/shoulders mouvements -hands clapping -fist punching on my chest -head hitting on a surface (behind me, a wall or a window for exemple)... -it could increase in tic attacks with those tics + legs mouvements that could impact me when i'm walking and i can sometimes experience derealisation/depersonalisation or dissociation 🐸

I didn’t know the part about chewing lips, I’ve learned a lot about anxiety and the signs of it over the years and have reached a point where my anxiety is manageable on a daily basis but I do still chew my lips more than I should and I never knew it could be caused by anxiety! That explains so much!

I love her voice so much, it's so soft and calming.

Me: *has all the symptoms* Also me: -your overreacting stop being so dramatic- Me:*ok*

Obsessing over physical things. Ex: Oh my God, did I see one of my teeth shift while brushing? (No, but I believed it for an entire evening.)

Usually when I feel anxious, I tend to bounce my leg and bite my nails (my most common habits). I also ask my friends to ask teachers the question I have because I’m too scared to talk to them infront of everyone and some of my teachers kind of scare me. I also tend to not look people on eye because once I do I can’t look away and it scares me even more. I’m just happy that I’ve found a video were other people suffering with anxiety are talking and helping each other cope. It’s nice to see people work together, especially when they all have something in common 😅

Me: does all of this everyday, also has panic attacks a lot My brain: Quit being dramatic, you don’t have anxiety

Umm...this is scarily accurate-

I’ve always bounced my leg while sitting in certain positions more specifically in my desk at school it helps me be able to just sit at a desk all day so I won’t get antsy I also crack my knuckles often

A habit that I developed is that I talk to myself or just blurt out random thoughts during high moments of tress. I also start laughing nervously, tapping, fidgeting, looking around, start moving like ALOT, and breathing heavily. Anxiety is not fun 😣

if you're in a hurry, here are the things you may develop from anxiety! 1. avoiding eye contact 2. grinding your teeth 3. waking up at intervals during the night 4. chewing your lip i hope you all have a good thanksgiving!

"have you developed any of these habits?" me: *nervous laughing*

Chewing on my lips has always been a big one! In high school the inside of my cheeks were usually raw from anxiety chewing. I also have a tendency when I’m stressed to pick the polish off my nails. I just be sitting there having a conversation and then notice I took all the polish off my nail. If I’m not wearing polish, I’m picking my cuticles.

Yes, this has indeed helped. You guys are so much than I could ever ask for. The signs I show of anxiety don’t really get noticed, and I can even go as far as to say they’re being ignored by my parents. Or they’re finding excuses for me to feel stumped and then cry or find somewhere I can lock myself in to have this attack. I might show this to my coach to give her a better understanding of what goes on. Again, thank you guys 🤍

hitting every mark: *this is fine, totally*

besides all of these habits, i learned everyone's walking pattern sound, that means that i know who is coming near me just by the sound of them walking.. idk how and when i learned this habit, but i simply know

I used to grind my teeth so my jaw would hurt SO MUCH when I ate anything, I went to the dentist thinking it was because of my teeth treatment (Invisalign) and I was so confused when she asked me if I was stressed, which I was because school had me stressed af, so it’s interesting to know!

I’m so happy this video popped up. I wasn’t sure if I was doing better but this made me realize that I don’t grind my teeth and avoid eye contact anymore, I’m slowly getting better!!

"You avoid eye contact" Me: Oh

I couldn't even make eye contact with my psychologist. Yeah, this is accurate.

I accidentally stumbled upon the videos from this channel and I hate to say it but I find it more relaxing for me to listen to her voice, of which is, so calming, gentle & understanding that I have to listen to it again so I can everything I missed the 1st time around. By this time I am alot less stressed out & I retain so much more of what is said. Damn these videos do work!!!

The fact I’ve developed all of these concerns me but doesn’t surprise me-

Today, my boss yelled at me for not looking him straight in his eyes, saying I'm being very disrespectful. I felt so scared when I noticed all my colleagues was watching me. I want to cry but I held it in and apologise :((

I don’t think she realizes how much this channel truly helps people and I just want to say thank you

i have many "anxiety habits", even the people around me tells me sometimes that im too anxious, but when i start thinking about it and trying to figure out what is getting me anxious, nothing comes to my mind and i just dont know why im anxious, i dont know what to do

I’m looking at these comments and I’m so glad I’m not the only one with these habits! I have such a bad habit of picking my lips but it helps me cope!anxiety sucks

Her: waking up throughout the night Me: -laughs nervously as I wake up like 3 or 4 times throughout the nights qwq

1. Avoiding eye contact 2. Grinding your teeth 3. Waking up at intervals throughout the night 4. Chewing your lip 5. Checking for the exits when you’re in a new place 6. Face picking

I actually developed a couple of BFRB growing up. I started biting my cheeks and nails/cuticles in elementary. In middle school I began picking my skin, but after some bullying and learning about moisturizers and exfoliation, that went away. In my adolescence I developed something called Trichotillomania. I've struggled with this for over a decade now and am finally learning these impulses weren't part of my personality, they were treatable symptoms with underlying causes.

I love that you have a calm voice when you speak it makes me feel calm and relaxed

A Turtle approves this informational video.

Whenever I feel anxious I start crying my eyes out,I lose control of my emotions

I've thankfully never developed a habit of biting my lip or nails. I've always had dandruff, despite constantly using conditioners/hair treatments and thoroughly scrubbing my scalp. Whenever I am anxious, I will scratch away at the dandruff on my scalp. I feel extremely embarrassed by doing so. If my hands aren't preoccupied with a task, then I can't stop. Sometimes it gets so bad that my hand gets carpal tunnel from the repetitive scratching. Fidget toys have been a game changer to help me control this bad habit of mine.

Yeah I bite my lips and the inside of my cheek a lot & they bleed a lot, so I constantly have a hurting mouth and parts to heal. I also got Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling Disorder) and I pull hair out from my scalp. It’s a habit, I no longer do it when I’m anxious anymore. Now it happens no matter how I feel. Took me around a year or two of doing it for me to realise “oh, my hair isn’t falling out, I’m pulling my hair out instead!” So I talked to a professional about that stuff. Stay safe and healthy everyone. You’re loved.

Me: *Is medically diagnosed with anxiety* Also Me: “How strange that I show these symptoms”

"which of these have you developed from having anxiety" me: yes

I copy peoples personalities, behaviours, they way they talk (my Australian accent has changed to a slight British accent because of my anxiety), to make other people feel comfortable around me. Depending on the person I am talking to/working with I will copy them to fit in. I realised very recently I have been doing it for around 15 years and have never thought it was because of anxiety.

I LOVE YOUR VOICE! The information and education is wonderful, but your voice, alone, makes me feel better. It’s very soothing. Thank you for the videos. 〰️♥️〰️🦻〰️

Her: Do you find yourself chewing on your bottom lip? Me: **eats skin on bottom lip** huh?

Me: Having diagnosed Anxiety Also Me: Watches stuff like this

🤣 I do all of these and have for years. This paired with my depression is quite the party. In all seriousness though the worst is when someone else points it out to you

Thanks for your content, have noticed there are a HUGE amount of comments for all of them. Just goes to show the demand and the hurt that is out there. Have personally benefited from your wisdom, keep up the good work!!!

me : has been properly diagnosed with anxiety also me : i don't have anxiety, i'm just being dramatic

Hugs for anyone who needs it 🤗 💗 💓

Habits I do on a Daily -chewing on nails -picking nails -bouncing leg -avoiding eye contact -stuttering in front of people(even close friends) -fidgeting with hands -biting lips -chewing on the inside of my cheek -peeling skin -grinding teeth -blinking excessively in a pattern

Gods, the voice actress lady has a beautiful soft sounding voice!! O could literally listen to her speak in these little short documents all day if I could. 🥺

when you have taken over 50 tests and seen tons of videos about symptoms and knowing I probably have anxiety yet then over thinking and deciding that self diagnosing myself isn't accurate but also over thinking about going to actually get diagnosed because I don't want to be judged or for anyone to know and I don't want to be treated like a patient-

Me going in: “Eh, I don’t think I’ve really picked up any anxiety type habits” *all of them start to sound true* Me: “oh....Oh....OH....well crap”

Personally I'm a stress eater, so if I'm stressed or anxious, I eat. Now I'm on a diet and it's becoming increasingly dfficult to manage without eating. I also grind my teeth and sometimes chew on my lip, but I don't usually make it bleed as I chew on the outside layer of the skin, instead making it red and swollen...

I have most of these and yes I have a diagnosed anxiety disorder. I also shake my head as if I’m shaking my anxiety out of my head. I also start playing with my fidget ring , pop it , or smelling my lavender essential oils ( I only use essential oils for my anxiety and a way to distract my brain) or I grip my hands into a fist. I also try to keep a record of my most severe attacks. I wish I didn’t have anxiety but I do. I wish I could go back in time and prevent myself from developing it.

A tip for my fellow people who can't stand eye contact. Look at the persons nose instead. Their brain registers it as eye contact, there is really small difference from their point of view that people never notice. I use this to look teachers "in the eyes".

Her: do you find your self chewing on your bottom lip? Me who is sucking on blood from the lip: no? Who does that? Edit: ok... Uhh so u recently found out I have brfb so uhh if Ur lip biting or stuff hoe many of yall have been saying gets serious then please get it checked... Ty

1. Absolutely! I couldn't look people in the eyes until I was around 19-20, fall backwards whenever I get stressed out or super anxious. Although I'd usually look down, or off to the side. 3. Yes. Back when I was working 60hr weeks, I was sleeping 2-5hrs a night. Quit my job cause of stress and anxiety, now I get it because I don't have a job!! 🤗 Human minds are great..and terrible.

I carry a bead bracelet which I play with when I'm stressed or anxious, it works very well for me.

Me who does every single thing on the list, trying not to self diagnose:

me: haves every single one of these habits also me: *you’re just being dramatic shut up*😌

I , 1.Crack my knuckles 2.Bite my nails 3.Fidget with my hair,Bracelets,Earings,Sleeve (basically anything) 4. I have insomnia 5. I overthink very easily 6. I tap my leg off the ground 7. I can't stay still 8. I can't look people straight in the eye, Even my own parents, I can only look at the person I'm comfortable with in the eye 9. Hide my face with my bangs 10. Hide my true persona from people I'm uncomfortable with 11. Hates being yelled at and then has headaches 12.Says absolutely nothing during rants 13. Worst of all, This is a small story: My parents were giving out to me and my other 2 siblings and I absolutely hated it, I felt like my head was gonna explode, I hade the cap of a pen in my hand and the rant went on for like 20-30mins, I hadn't noticed till I went to bed that I was so stressed that I had been scraping the side of my thigh with the cap of the pen and that I was bleeding. Idk if any of these things I do have to do with anxiety but... yeah

Your voice is so calming it makes me very calm

Did she just say all the anxiety symptoms I have right now??!? WHY IS THIS SO ACCURATE!!

stay strong everyone! its very powerful to admit that you have anxiety

I have the lip biting, teeth grinding, avoiding eye contact, and the exit thing as well as tapping my middle finger and index finger against each other. I also do a small cough like sound a lot when im anxious. And thanks for making these videos, they're really interesting to listen to

I used to get sick every morning like clockwork and was nauseous half the day. For years I was told by my doctors it was acid reflux and to take zofran and over the counter acid reducers. Ended up seeing a new doctor when one retired. The first appointment she diagnosed me with severe anxiety disorder and gave me klonopin. I have been almost 100% nausea and sick free since.

Me: has all these symptoms. Also me: nope, no anxiety here.

“Do you chew on your lips?” Me with lips bleeding : ..

since the pandemic, my schools gone back to in person and we don't do zoom for even quarantined students. i've noticed that most of my classmates move their legs really fast. i, myself move my leg side to side, and it's always made me think about how similar mentally all of us teens are, yet how different our minds can be. never thought it could be because of anxiety..

Very interesting! I actually went to school to study counseling and became a school counselor. I grew up in a domestic violent home and never knew until I became an adult that my lip picking was an anxiety issue. The good thing is I stopped doing it maybe 5 years ago. My anxiety has subsided quite a lot over the years, with the exception of giving presentations. I use to pick my lips to the point of blood and scabs that would form! It would hurt so much and I never knew why I kept doing it. It’s nice to have those feelings/experiences validated. This was great 👍🏽 ☺️

I always avoid eye contact when I’m talking to my classmates because all these anxiety is building up inside me and I just feel that I’m not good enough to be anyone’s friend. That makes it so much more difficult for me to socialise and make friends and it’s causing me to have mild depression when I don’t have a lot of friends at school and I don’t really do well in academics.

my mom "stop doing these stupid little anxiety things you look life you have a disability" me a couple months later get diagnosed with severe anxiety and deppresion, and adhd 0-0

I do have alot of anxiety (although not diagnosed) and I do all off these. I never knew that they were anxiety related. Thanks for speading information ❤️

I haven't had a one-time sleep in years, I wake up every hour, I never feel like I get enough rest...

I have this anxiety when I'm walking in a crowd i feel like they're all staring at me like make me feel scared and nervous and when I do something I feel like there judging me😩I hate that all the time And when I'm in a class I always put my hair down and cover my face cause yeah I feel everyone watching me always and staring at me

Lips: Peeled Knuckles: Popped Clock numbers: Endlessly counted Demons: Following me

The eye contact one is so relatable. I always feel like I'm looking at people too long or not enough. Also, I've been picking at my lips every day, for several years now. My parents keep telling me to stop and I swear I try to keep them moisturized all day to minimize the damage, but I still end up doing it when I least realize it. They're always red, bleeding, and sore & when I can finally heal them, I still find a way to mess with them...

For over ten years now, I’ve been going to work an hour early to avoid the anxiety of possibly being late, even the very early morning shifts, despite only having a ten minute drive to work. I lose sleep because of it. Before I go to bed as well, I check my alarm at least three times to make sure it is set, that it’s set on AM and not PM, and that the volume on my phone is all the way up. Even after checking so many times, I have to tell myself that my alarm IS set and I’ll wake up on time. I’m slowly but surely working on leaving a little later, to tell myself I’ll be okay and that I will be on time. With my alarm, I’m at the point now where I’m checking it less, but I have to stare at it and let it click in my head that it is on. With my relationship anxiety, I tend to keep my problems to myself to avoid possibly bothering my partner, even though we’ve known each other for a very long time, but have been dating over a year now. It’s becoming more of a problem though because he wants me to open up and talk to him. I understand it’s because of being told in the past that my problems are no big deal and that I just need to keep it to myself. It’s not fair to him, and I know that, but changing lifelong behaviors is no easy task, no matter how easy it sounds. I want to go to therapy and I want to try medications, but I do worry about the cost. I feel like I have way too much on my plate to pay for anything else, even if it involves my mental health. If anyone has any resources they would like to share with me that are less costly, I would greatly appreciate it.

me, pulling the skin off my fingers and lips and picking at scars: "haha can't relate"

me: Has bad thoughts and panics alot my dad: Dont worry, it's just anxiety Me: *Yeah it just a mental disorder which affects so many people and changes your perception of life and makes you scared 24/7, nothing to worry about*

i haven’t been diagnosed with anxiety but i avoid eye contact with other people constantly, bounce my leg up and down, bite the inside of my mouth / lips, wake up sometimes at random intervals of the night but the thing i do most when i am really like anxious is crack my knuckles i crack my knuckles anyway but when i am like playing sports or doing something that raises my anxiety, i crack them like A LOT it’s like i can’t stop it

A few of the things that I do when I'm anxious: - Chew my lips/nails - Crack my knuckles/neck - Bounce my leg - Shake my arms by my sides - Blink repeatedly in patterns - Mouth whatever I'm thinking without saying it out loud (this has become more common after using masks though) - I act as though I'm chewing something even if I'm not The list goes on, but these are the ones that I find myself doing regularly. I have no idea if they're normal or not, or even if it's completely unrelated lol.

I don't watch these videos to see if I have anxiety, I watch them because I want to see if my friends have anxiety, I recall 2 of my friends have almost all the symptoms, I watch these so I can get informed and help them, so thank you:)

I was chewing my lip and then it said "chewing your lip" and I stopped lol, also a thing I do is bite/peel skin off my fingers

My anxiety brought me here. Thank you and have a good night rest.

I LOVE YOUR VOICE. It’s SO soothing. Just your voice makes me feel better. 〰️〰️♥️🦻〰️〰️

“Do you find yourself chewing on your lips”? Me: “has crusty, bloody, and lips burn” nooooo...... I would never....😅 lol

My dad after watching this:she said u might avoid eye contact and you do that Me:No I don't I say as I look at the curtain behind him and avoid looking him in the eye

Before treatment, I had to find the exits in each room or store I entered before doing anything else; I ground my teeth at night so badly many had to be replaced; and I couldn't look anyone in the eye because I believed they would see my vulnerability, I wore bangs to hide the perspiration on my forehead; and WORST OF ALL if sitting around a conference table I would keep my hands below and dig my fingernails into my hand or wrist (sometimes drawing a small amount of blood) in an effort to have pain distract my mind from worry....all the while showing no expression. It is awful having PTSD, Social Anxiety, and depression all at the same time. The meds only blunt the feelings, they don't eradicate them. It's the CBT I credit for starting anew.
