No. No, no, no, no. You're incredibly strong for living with anxiety and still being here to wonder about it. There are lots of ways to deal with your anxiety, and your re never weak. Everyone struggles with different things. Your struggle with anxiety doesn't make you any weaker than someone who is struggling with depression, bullying, stress, breakups, a mental disorder, a physical disorder, or anything else.
No it certainly doesn't. Anxiety is a natural response to stressors and every human being has a fight or flight response; some people are naturally more anxious than others but it does not make you a weak person. I hope that you're okay and always know that you're incredibly strong regardless of experiencing anxiety or not :)
no! of course not. having anxiety doesn't make anyone weak. i, personally have major anxiety. anxiety is part of life, instead, it makes you stronger.
No, having anxiety does not make you a weak person whatsoever. Ignore anyone who tries to tell you otherwise. I believe once you can manage and cope with anxiety, it makes you an even stronger person!:)

Anxiety definitely does not make you a weak person. In fact, it makes you a very strong person. You are dealing with something that most people just cannot handle.
Absolutely not. Anxiety makes you one of the few strong people who have it. Anxiety is an obstacle in your life, and the fact that you are pushing through it says a lot.

Anxiety does not make me a weak person. It actually makes me stronger because I am dealing with it.
No, anxiety is just one thing about a person. You may feel weak at times, but as a whole you have a lot of different strengths
No, having anxiety does not make you weak. When we define "weak", we think of something as 'easy to break or bend'. Right? So when we are reffuring to ourselves as "weak", do we break easily? Are we easy to bend? The answer is no, there has to be a great force for us to be damaged like that. Just remember, that when you start to think of yourself as weak, think: Are you breakable? Are you bendable? Are you really the definition of weak?

Having anxiety just means you're human, it doesn't mean you're weaker or not as good as anyone else.
Anxiety is not weakness, anxiety is simply something holding you back, and you are so much stronger than your anxiety.
Anxiety does not make you a weak person, it definitely makes you a stronger person because of all of the troubles and struggles you have to process and deal with daily. It's like exercise, the more you deal with, the stronger you are.

Absolutely not. I am an anxious person as well and I can understand how out of control you feel when you're anxious but it does not make you a weak person. You can oversome it.
Absolutely not. Anxiety is a mental illness that can strike at anyone, regardless of personality. People who have anxiety are in fact stronger than most, since they have to deal with anxiety all the time.
Anxiety doesn't make you a weak person, it makes you just a more sensitive one. I've never experienced anxiety so i don't feel like i am the best person who can give any kind of advice. I've learned a lot about this by watching videos of people who shared their story and who soffred from anxiety. Sometime aniety isn't a big deal, it can come from stress and you just need to realx and take your time to sort things out. But when things get a little bit more complicated then i think that the best thing is to seek help, talk to people about how you feel. Because no matter what you feel and how alone you think you are,it's not like that. You are not alone, there are people who care about you and want to help you. Sharing your feelings can help you go though though time. Anxiety is a serious thing, but doesn't make you any weaker, it makes you just feels things more intensely.
No, In fact it can make us stronger... as we try to fight it over, the stronger we become as a person. It may take time but what's important is that we are doing something about it.
No. Having anxiety means you actually have feelings and overcoming them makes you so much stronger. I do not regret having anxieties, because now that I overcame them I know what I'm capable of.
Not at all I have anxiety and i know quite a few people who also have it. It DOES NOT make you weak and if anything makes your stronger :)

No, we all have our faults but they make us who we are, just because you have something wrong doesn't mean you are any weaker or different from anyone else.
anxiety isn't a weakness in a person,it is part of a group of a mental illness, Have you been to a healthcare professional to talk about this.
Anxiety weakens your ability to make wise and sound decisions. This does not make you a weak person. This is your opportunity to overcome. This makes you stronger.
Absolutely not! In fact, dealing with the struggle that anxiety can bring shows resilience, and proves you have the skills necessary to cope.

No way! Not at all. Having anxiety is a normal thing. Everyone gets anxiety from time to time. Those who continue to have anxiety just need some help coming up with ways to allow them overcome it. It's a life long battle for some, as it is for me, but there are definitely ways to help calm the nerves and think clearly :)

No it doesn't, having anxiety is just like going to the gym, it's not because your weak, but just because you should train for something better â¤ï¸
Yeah! I'm an anxious person. With every new starts i go deep inside my anxiety. Its hard to live with that sometimes. People makes you feel that you are not worthy and if they talk to you it will be awaste of time. But if you control your anxiety at a certain level its healthy. Anxiety with no falsely thought or no pain attack with straight to convince yourself that "hey this will be ok! It will turn out to be good" This makes life easy to be lived. trust me things have started getting better for me now. Now i know how to manage my anxiety. All i did was just convinced myself to much of being anxiety will lead you no where you have work. So please try to help yourself first then you can do it for others.
Having anxiety isn't uncommon, and many people who suffer from it go on to do great things. It doesn't make you any weaker than anyone else, in fact, it takes great strength to persevere through it. If anything, you are stronger as a result.
No it does not make you a weak person if anything managing with your condition every day makes you stronger. You may feel weak but pushing forward and find ways to manage your anxiety make you very strong.
Having anxiety makes you a more sensitive person, more delicate towards certain events or situations. If you are aware of your anxiety, and try to cope with it and control it when possible, then this defiantly is not weakness. On the contrary it shows your inner strength, your determination into wanting to get to know this aspect of your personality better and work on it.
Anxiety is not a weakness, it's just one of the many variations of the different reactions all of us might have.
