When we look at bilateral relations, many of the situations we complain about such as excessive jealousy, skepticism, obstructive or restrictive behaviors, and overprotection are caused by Anxiety, although not alone. “What if he likes her more; someone more fun than me, for sure my girlfriend will leave me for her; He shouldn't go there because there are a lot of dangerous people there, something will happen to him for sure…” One of the underlying reasons for such sentences is anxiety disorders. In romantic relationships, such blocking, restrictive, suspicious or extremely jealous behaviors cause that relationship to wear out in a short time, lies and eventually separation.
Anxiety does not only affect our romantic/emotional relationships; It also negatively affects our social life. In particular, people who have thoughts such as "worthlessness" about themselves, cannot make any decisions in their friend environment and usually make hesitant statements such as "it doesn't matter to me, you know".

As a result; All these expressions are normally among the events that can be experienced in life and there are situations that we can actually experience. However, people with anxiety disorders think that they cannot cope with such situations, and they often see themselves in a state of helplessness and experience many problems in their daily lives, along with thoughts such as "I can't do anything if they happen".
