It is not a secret that people with anxiety have a future-oriented fear. It leads them to avoid things and scenarios they think are potentially dangerous. Sometimes, they look at stress differently that they assume that everything about it is triggering factors. So imagine them living in this pandemic situation where all they hear and see are bad news.

Fortunately, according to licensed professionals at BetterHelp, anxiety disorders are highly treatable. However, only a few people are seeking treatment. The rest of the diagnosed individuals suffer in silence. Perhaps that is because people with anxiety worry about the judgment of others. There is a stigma about mental illness, and most people with a mental condition somehow experience a negative effect on their lives. If this sounds very familiar, perhaps you might be suffering from anxiety and don’t realize it.

Signs To Look Out For

You Are Always Self-Conscious – If you are a bit conscious that everyone is staring at you all the time, perhaps you are suffering from hidden anxiety. It affects your confidence that you often question the way you walk, eat, and sit. It even makes you feel like the sound of your voice is awkward that people might notice it shaky. You don’t have the confidence to be around with people because you are too afraid that they might have something negative to say about your behavior or personality.

You Get Irritated Easily – Sometimes, hidden anxiety is not just about fear. Often, it is when you feel too sensitive about everything. You find your feelings get hurt easily and that you get angry without any reason. You experience problems understanding yourself. With that, you get upset with yourself, and you can’t let go of the littlest things that don’t entirely matter. You suffer from emotional volatility that relates to high-functioning anxiety. There is too much imbalance in your emotions that makes you mentally unstable. You experience frequent tantrums, mood swings, and outbursts. But note that your mental health is different from the mental health of defender personality.

You’re Panicky And Get Startled Easily – Anxiety can be useful in some ways. It allows you to become more vigilant and in control at some point. However, when you feel that small things you can’t control are sending you to a reel of panic, perhaps that is hidden anxiety. It makes you feel vulnerable when something catches you off guard. And when the smallest things don’t go your way, you find it hard to calm down and relax. You become overwhelmed with the things around you which makes you lose control of your senses.

You Don’t Like Talking To People Face-To-Face – Given a chance, you could easily keep a conversation even for a more extended period through chatting online and texting. However, talking to someone in person is a different story. Even if you already know your friends well and already spoke to them quite a few times online, you still get nervous having conversations with them in person. Somehow, you are finding it hard to come up with the right words to respond, and making eye contact seems impossible to do. Therefore, often, you end the conversation before it even starts.

You Are Indecisive –  When you experience having trouble making decisions, even small ones, perhaps you have hidden anxiety. When you are afraid to make up your mind about something, it means you are always thinking negatively about your situation. That somehow results in wanting perfection. You get to fear failure, and the struggle makes you disgust yourself when you can’t better achieve something. Most of the time, you overthink everything, especially the ones that are uncontrollable like this pandemic. You also have this habit of asking people for their opinion even though you know you need them and you don’t care about what they are going to say. At some point, you only need the validation of whether your decision is acceptable.

Ever since the Coronavirus outbreak, people worry too much about their lives. There’s stress everywhere, and people kind of embrace the agony of it. According to an experts at BetterHelp, stress falls into different categories such as physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral. Behavioral stress is the most ignored category because people think that there are no signs of it. But unfortunately, its symptoms are visible. Here are some of those.

 Sleeping Difficulties

With all the problems the whole world is having, negative thinking becomes common. That is due to the uncertainties brought by the pandemic. People are now in a mental crisis filled with anxiety and fear of not knowing what would happen next. And with all the bad thoughts that distract them, they experience the inability to sleep and relax. Individuals fail to get enough mental energy because their minds cannot recover from falling short of the required amount of rest.

Isolation

One of the safety precautions of the outbreak is home quarantine. There should be no contact with people outside an individual parameter. But some people look at this safety measure as a way to induce self-isolation. That instead of attempting to bridge the gap of communication, they choose to withdraw themselves from the particular event. They avoid socializing with anyone as well. Even with the people inside their homes that they see every day receives a cold treatment. They shut everyone out to feel solace on their own.

Unhealthy Eating Habits

With the limited access to food during this unwanted situation, people do not notice the unhealthy eating habits they are doing. Understandably, the types of food some individuals can stock in their homes need to stay edible for a more extended period. But since the situation is very stressful, others resort to comfort food. These foods become their escape to make them feel temporarily better. But also, there is a different approach to unhealthy eating habits and not eating anything is part of it.

Addictive Behavior

Some people experiencing pandemic stress often do not notice that addiction can be a part of it. Since there is a limitation to what they can do during this lockdown, some try to resort in short term solutions. One of these solutions is to spend more time with their mobile devices. The behavior gets ignored because the majority of people are doing it at the same time. But considering the extended period of smartphone usage per day, experts can agree that this behavior will soon lead to significant health damage.

Suicidal Talk Or Behavior

This particular behavioral issue is somehow discrete. The majority of people will not consider this act, but there are a few people that deal with suicidal talk or behavior. Some individuals express their stress by saying they want to die due to the pressure of life given this pandemic. Some are already harming themselves in silence. In a crisis like today, the signals get ignored. People are too drawn to the idea of surviving this pandemic situation. That is why shifting their focus to understanding suicidal behavior gets too much to worry about.

Takeaway

And as much as we want to get things back to normal, all we can do now is keep our heads straight. There is nothing much we can do. Stress can manifest in a lot of dangerous ways. We need to be more cautious about our thoughts and behavior. We need to understand that this situation affects us all, and no one is alone in this battle. There are other people who are experiencing the same things we experience. We have to remind ourselves that the only way we can get rid of stress is by recognizing it physically, mentally, emotionally, and behaviorally.

Have you ever experienced falling in love at first sight? That moment when the mere appearance of a person captures your attention, then your heart? Have you ever felt so emotionally connected to somebody despite merely seeing their face?

The foundation of any relationship is not just love, but trust. So when you find out that your partner is lying to you, it almost feels like your whole world is falling apart.

They say that ‘love at first sight’ is real and proved by many successful couples nowadays. The moment you see the person, you would know instantly if you two would click, they claim. Is there any science or logic backing up this statement? Possible. It can be because of this specific technique: Face reading.

Theresa E DiDonato, Ph.D., social psychologist and associate professor at Loyola University, Maryland wrote, “People really do report experiencing love at first sight in the instant they encounter a person, It’s a strong initial attraction that could later become a relationship. One compelling counter-argument that people have biased memories and essentially create the illusion of having fallen for each other instantly isn’t an appropriate explanation for all cases of love at first sight.”

We are often told that we must go beyond judging a person by his/ her face value. We dig deeper to know the person. We take time to engage a potential partner through dates, lengthy conversations, and late nights. We often equate compatibility with having the same set of beliefs and values.

There’s a strong consideration in the relationship that supports the saying “love your partner’s imperfection.” It may sound convincing, but it typically represents my situation in a different way. It seems like there’s something about me that feels so wrong. What if my imperfections can bring harm to the one I love? Am I still capable of considering those flaws?

My marriage goes to different stages, and as I continue to stay positive about everything, I am noticing that my personality is causing someone to feel stressed, anxious, and depressed. It’s not helping me, and I somehow think that it’s not contributing to my marriage at all.

I Easily Get Irritated Whenever He Doesn’t Listen To What I Say

As a wife, I admit I have tons of demands that I want my husband to follow. As much as possible, I want him to immediately consider the things I want him to do and prioritize them before anything else. It upsets me every time I ask him to do something and feel like he’s not taking my words seriously. My perfectionist personality is making him feel weak and useless. Sometimes, he admits to seeing me as a boss and not as a wife, and that is something.

Suzanne Phillips, PsyD., ABPP says that long-term married couples with similar traits also report less marital satisfaction than those with opposing traits. Sometimes when the world of demands steps out, partners either expect their partner to fill in or predict boredom and confinement with one person. The lack of satisfaction often reflects an inability to see self, partner, and life a little differently.”.

I Create Decisions And Make Sure To Execute Them

There’s a huge difference when it comes to decision making regarding our relationship. I always get to have the final say because I consider myself periodically on the right path. I am never wrong, and my husband seems to agree with that. However, I feel my man is turning out to be a servant and not a husband anymore. He doesn’t say anything so I think I’m making the right choices, but I don’t.

The phenomenon experienced by the husband is what we all know as “learned helplessness.” Courtney Ackerman, MSc, defines this as “a phenomenon observed in both humans and other animals when they have been conditioned to expect pain, suffering, or discomfort without a way to escape it,” and then “eventually, after enough conditioning, the animal will stop trying to avoid the pain at all—even if there is an opportunity to truly escape it.”

My Social Skills Are Becoming An Issue

I am a friendly person, and as much as possible, I want to connect to a lot of people. I am talkative, and I believe I can comfortably create a bond with others due to my honest personality. However, my husband seems to see it differently. He thinks that I am too open about my life to others and it causes us to have different opinions about what others think. I am a vocal person, and I answer people’s questions honestly, and he pretty much doesn’t seem to like it.

I’m Unpredictable When It Comes To What I Want

Part of my flaws is irrational thinking. I sometimes see things in a different perspective which causes me to exaggerate reactions. I excuse myself for being unreasonable and try to cover it up by merely convincing my husband that I need attention out of nowhere. He thinks that’s normal. However, I feel like he’s only trying to be nice because he mainly tells me things I want to hear.

“Lying and self-deception is rampant in romantic relationships,“ Dr. Cortney S. Warren, PhD., ABPP., admits.

 

My personality is something that makes me different from anybody else. However, when it comes to my relationship, I can see that those imperfections are trying to ruin my marriage drastically. Though I don’t hear any complaints from my husband, I am perfectly sure that there’s something wrong.

 

There’s no doubt that the face is one of the most important features of a person. It is the one that you first see when you try to look at somebody. It shows different kinds of expressions that are readable and understandable.

And according to Benedict James, PhD, “The first impressions we form about other people based on their facial appearance influence important social outcomes. They influence who we choose as friends and lovers, who we choose to hire and fire, and even who we vote for.”

But do you know that there’s more to it? Would you believe that you can determine an individual’s personality just by looking at his facial features? The different sizes of a person’s eyes, nose, lips brows, etc., all of them can mean something.
