Relationships can be a significant anxiety trigger.  Your anxiety could be triggered by the fear of conflict, feeling pressure or expectations from your loved ones or family members, or possibly from a fear of disappointing them…

 

These are just a few examples as to why you might feel anxious around your family or loved ones.
