Masks of High-Functioning Anxiety

Those with high-functioning anxiety wear a mask of calm, perfectionism, success, and busyness on the outside to shroud the torrent of overthinking, self-doubt, overanalyzing, fear of failure, and insecurity on the inside. This mask often stays in place because the fear of “what if’s” keeps it there— what if I’m really not good enough? What if people think I’m a fraud? What if everything falls apart? What if everybody thinks I’m weak, or a failure? In this episode, we’ll unveil the mask of high-functioning anxiety— what keeps the mask in place, what it’s hiding, and what you can do about it to find a greater sense of ease in your life.

In this episode, you will learn:

• 4 specific “masks” that those with high-functioning anxiety tend to wear
• The struggles these masks are really hiding within
• How to peel back the layers of your mask so you can stop struggling and begin thriving
