I'm thinking it could be alittle of both.

I agree. I think it may be a combination

I believe anxiety comes from what we experience in life. If your parents have it then it can make you have it since your environment has it. I have it from the trama i experienced in life. If things were different such as living a life most people had, i wouldn't have ir near as bad.

Hi Mel,
I believe it is too.
Thanks for your comment. I appreciate it.

Hi Nutin_Special,
I think it is hereditary.
I have family members that have it.

Trauma can bring it on.
Good point.

Anxiety is manageable but not curable. I think that's the part that sucks.

Take good care and thanks for commenting on my post.

welcome back italian lover. you have been missed.

both with a few other factors to ice the cake. at it's root, anxiety is all-natural and hard-wired into our "lizard brain," aka, survival instinct. then we get to the nurture of the nature. me duele a la cabeza. . .

Both, neither. We're meant to e anxiosu, as Arfie said: Anxiety from the hindbrain is hypervigilance on the ancient landscape! SURVIVAL! But now? It's bouncing off walls and that stinks.

Awww. Thank you Arfie. I miss all of you.

Can I have a different kind of icing on my cake? Lol

But on a serious note yes I think it is both. Unfortunately that's just the way like you say our brain is wired.

Thank you so much for your comment.

Hi Leo,

Arfie does make a good point about anxiety.

I don't want to be bouncing off walls. I just want to be cool and calm. But its hard when anxiety hits. Especially at times that the world is so unsettle. Who wouldn't be?

Thanks for your comment. Beautiful profile picture too I must say.

I think it could be both. I think I got the genetic side because I was raised by 2 caring loving parents and they were a happy couple. There was never really any fighting or drama like that

They never would yell at us or even hit us and it’s the same way with my husband and I.

And we’re the same way towards our children and yet my daughter suffers severe anxiety where she doesn’t like to interact with other kids and when she’s gotten invites to birthday parties she’s had the invitation s in the trash.which she likes to isolate herself so much

Hi Sweetgirl,
It sounds to me like its not genetic in your case.

Does either of your mom or Dad have anxiety? Or your siblings? Mine do.

Your daughter might be just shy around people. Maybe feels uncomfortable. More a introvert.

Thanks for your comment. Hugs to you and your family.

My sister Katie has it and my mom had it.

There are genetic factors involved with the level of anxiety awareness and sensitivity ability. The environment factors are huge, overwhelming, and relatable to general standards.

The 'both' and 'neither' are possible.

For me, it's natural and it's a part of my life that I live with. Once I stopped fighting and gave it space, it was easier for me to live more comfortably.

I'm glad that you brought this question up, and good to see you, CIL!

@ Sweetgirl 18.

Then yes I can see where it would be genetic. What a thing to inherit. Ugh.

I much rather inherit money or something good. Lol.

Take good care.
Big hugs to all.

Hi Mid,

I agree with everything you said. Especially giving it space. I try not to let it interfere in my daily life. Seems to have gotten better too.

Its great to talk with you.
Thanks for liking my post

I think I need some beach therapy like you always do. It really is relaxing.
