relational anxiety

Relational anxiety refers to feelings of worry or discomfort related to one's relationships with others. It often involves concerns about being accepted, judged, or rejected, and can lead to fears of losing important connections. This anxiety might cause someone to overthink interactions, seek excessive reassurance, or avoid social situations to prevent negative outcomes. It varies in intensity and can impact personal and social well-being, influencing how individuals form and maintain relationships. Recognizing and addressing relational anxiety is important for developing healthier, more secure connections with others.
