Effort and stress are intrinsically linked. High effort activity naturally activate energy consuming processes and negative emotional states like frustration and fatigue.
Effort isn’t stress but effort inherently causes stress on the body.
A long walk or bike ride is stressful on the body. The stress created by physical exertion is what makes you tired.
No, what means the person has anxiety is the overthinking of a mundane social situation to the point it tires the person out from doing so.
Not necessarily. I think things through more than is necessary, like in a large crowd it is being very aware of a lot of things and actively thinking about small details that most people notice subconsciously. I’m not worried about what they think of me, it is just parsing a lot of information actively.
Overthinking can be a sign of anxiety, but it is not a 100% correlation.
I do get anxious when interacting with specific people I already know because they are terrible and I’m trying to avoid their specific brand of shittiness. In those cases I’m not even overthinking anything, just watching for signs they are going to dial it up.
