In Brooks article  “The Epidemic of Worry”, he brings up some very interesting points over being worried and having anxiety. Anxiety is something that worries you or you feel a bit of nervousness. Worrying is what causes your anxiety.  He says “Worry is circular”, because we stress over the little things. When you think someone is following you, you get a bit anxious and very worried about the situation so you tend to pace a little faster to your car.  I’m a person that won’t go out at night time by myself I get bad anxiety thinking someone is gonna rob me or even kidnap me you never know with crazy people these days. I didn’t even go out for Halloween because I was super stressed out that a clown might pop out. When I go running during the day, I look behind me constantly I get a bad feeling someone is following me and they say you always follow your gut. These types of situations is what causes people's anxiety attacks. Another point he said “ Anxiety is coursing through American society.” This is very true, we stress ourselves so bad we tend to not focus on the positive outlook of things. Sometimes when stress myself out to the max I tend to put myself in a bad place, I literally will cry over the stupidest things ever.

    The two “flavors” of worrying in America one is Educated- class anxiety is really a overload of different options without a purpose. Many students have anxiety over a test, they can study for weeks before the test but still be worried about passing it. I try to study at least an hour a day over notes we take in class so I can know the material. The second one is affluent people basically when you are very wealthy but you have a fear of missing out on things.  Most of these people try to buy their happiness. I’m not the person that judges anybody, but I wouldn’t like someone that tries to buy their friendship I couldn’t be with someone that does that. My family sometimes tries to buy their way in my life, but I instantly say no. I don’t like when people pay for anything for me, I appreciate the curiosity but I like to be independent and try to do it myself. I come from a family where I was extremely spoiled, I mean I still am but I feel like a terrible person when my parents buy everything for me I feel like a hopeless person.
