All The Different Ways People With Anxiety Show Their Love

Someone with anxiety is inclined to assume everyone is going to leave, which means they are going to make for cautious lovers.

They will not think twice but probably a thousand times before they let their guards down and become vulnerable to you and that's because the truth is that they are battling something they can't control. They will always hesitate in developing a full, wholesome and nourishing relationship because they don't want to burden you with their irrational thoughts and worries.

But remember, they are worth fighting for. It might be hard sometimes. There might be stupid fights of scenarios they¡¯ve created in their own head. But more than anything, they¡¯re worth fighting for. The toughest people usually are.

And that's why it makes sense to know all the different ways people with anxiety show their love.

1. They love with hesitation every step of the way.

This in no way should be confused with the fact that they don't love you. It's just their anxiety makes them incredibly cautious, which means they are second guessing themselves every step of the way. This hesitation can deeply over-power their thoughts.

2. They deeply fear disappointing their partners.

People battling anxiety are really hard on themselves. They are constantly on the look out of how they can do better, giving away to a thought process that wishes to strive for perfection. Which can only translate into how loving and dedicated they will be, once their fear of being in love goes away.

3. They can't talk about the future but doesn't mean they don't want one with you.

People with anxiety get nervous thinking about tomorrow, so imagine the physical and emotional strain they will put on themselves in order to think about the future. And that's why talk about the future will heighten their anxiety. But don't worry, if they are loyal and dedicated, that's because they already see a future with you. People with anxiety can't invest temporarily, their brain won't give in.

4. Remember, it's NOT that they don't trust you.

They do trust you. It's just their anxiety that makes them really paranoid. So when they fight on issues that you believe are insignificant, just remember it's coming from a place of care. and you should be happy that they are so deeply invested in the relationship, because in today's time, can we really say that about most people we know? Hang on.

5. They fear the worst.

People with anxiety are constantly fighting their own thoughts. On one hand you are making them feel loved but their thoughts might tell them that this will all end and you might not love them. Imagine living with that constantly. But if they are still around, even if they are fighting or highly emotional, just remember it's how their brain is hard-wired.

6. They don't think they are worthy of your love.

Anxious minds are filled with self-doubt. They truly believe their thoughts, emotions and worries make it impossible for another person to truly love them. What's important is to give them their time, space and understanding. So if they talk about ending the relationship, it's not because they really want to, it's a way to reassure their minds that you really love them and won't give up on them, no matter how difficult it gets.

7. But once they do believe you really love them, they give it their all.
