Anything or nothing! It can look like worry/stress/dread but it can also look like focus/calmness. It's considered an internalizing disorder because there isn't always a clear, outward expression, which varies based on the person

Anxiety is something that we need to encourage learners to actively think about and be aware of because it can look different for each person going through it. As children learning how they feel and perceive anxiety is key to recognizing and addressing it in healthy ways.

Anxiety can be presented in many different ways. Sometimes, it is very obvious. Someone could be consistently tapping their feet, staring off into space, or visibly panicking. Sometimes, people seem completely fine and can be extremely anxious on the inside. For example, I am usually very anxious when going to an interview. However, no one would ever know because "I would fake it, till I make it."

As a person who lives with anxiety: difficulty breathing, frequent headaches, stomach aches, bowel movements, hot flashes, crying, shivers. Or nothing at all!

Anxiety doesn't have a specific look to it, it can take the shape of many different forms. Anxiety can be loud and painful on the inside while showing a quiet, calm, shy demeanor to others on the outside.

Anxiety is different for everybody. Personally, when I get random attacks, I shiver and my heart and thoughts race. For others, it is more externalized and might affect their behavior in different ways.

Anxiety takes on different forms for each individual. It might involve avoiding social interactions, nervously biting nails before a test, and difficulty concentrating. It can manifest as constant worry, restlessness, or irritability. Each person's experience with anxiety is unique, and it's essential to be compassionate and understanding to those struggling with it.
