Anxiety is preparing yourself to say "here" when the teacher does attendance. Anxiety is shaking so bad you can barely keep food on a spoon. Anxiety is being so quiet that even your mind stops for a second. Anxiety is never texting first because you feel needy. Anxiety is not being able to walk up to the teacher to hand in a paper. Anxiety is always sitting in the back of the class so you don't feel eyes know you. Anxiety is being afraid. All the time. Afraid to love, to smile,  or even to say hello. Anxiety is only having a few friends because it's hard to talk to people you don't know. Anxiety is wanting to talk to the cute boy who sits across from you, but you're afraid of him knowing the real you. Anxiety is finally saying hello 20 times in your head

What is anxiety?
