people will say any character who is nervous under reasonable circumstances at least twice has anxiety. which is absurd. anxiety is not just occasionally being nervous guys please. i love when characters have anxiety but please.

#in terms of actually decently written anxiety that i think is intended to be anxiety. alderpaw in book 1 of avos #his nervousness isnt just regular situations its absurd and he often jumps to conclusions and fears the worst #theres a bit when hes first becoming an apprentice where hes worried theres a test and hell fail #when he becomes a medicine cat he just assumes its because hes terrible at being a warrior and everyone hates him #which is really accurate to my experience with anxiety #the only bad part about it is that the anxiety vanishes as soon as its inconvienent and never comes up again #also snowfall from wof. like the entire opening of the dangerous gift reads like an anxiety attack #and her anxiety doesnt vanish like alders does #fun fact this post is about pomni from tadc #she doesnt have anxiety guys. shes just a woman in a mildly horrific situation having a reasonable reaction #BTW TO BE CLEAR. i do not speak for all kinds of anxiety. i have an anxiety disorder so characters i think are better rep are probably-#-ones that are closer to my experience #its probably different for others #but for me anxiety isnt something occasional its constant and it influences everything i do
