Curious what makes for anxious types of people? Specifically those with consistent worry/ anxiety. Not just those who go through sudden periods of depression/anxiety attacks. (I believe that's different). Definitely curious about those who have an overall nervous personality type.

First, Gemini, as others have already said although it seems more of a main problem with those who have Mercury in Gemini. I have Gemini ASC (conj. Mars) and was just telling a girl yesterday who had asked if she made me uncomfortable that no, it's just that I get really nervous around new people because a switch is happening in my head that tells me I have to put on my Gemini "party face" in a short notice.

I believe all the earth signs worry a LOT, but it's not a whirring of thoughts...seems more just like a nagging feeling they can't prevent every bad thing from happening, or they'll miss something. All of them want to be responsible and feel guilty if they're not.

Cancers seem more unsure in personal conversations than worrying. It isn't the same as the above descriptions about being preventative or social anxiety. (Actually all the Cancers I know are lifes of the party.)

I would define myself as a "controlled worrier".

I look at the overall situation and figure out everything that can go wrong and plan out how to deal with it.

Example of my fears right now:

Tomorrow I have an appointment scheduled for a life insurance health exam, but if you've seen the news for the Pacific Northwest, you will see we had record rain in some areas, street flooding, sinkholes, etc. And we expect more wind and rain tomorrow. So my anxious brain says "Wouldn't that be crappy (and ironic) for a mudslide to kill you on your way to a life insurance exam."

This is every day of my life. I can't do anything, not even walk out and check the mailbox without thinking up some bad outcome (a rabid dog could be loose in the neighborhood and bite me, a speeding person might not see me and hit me, I could get stung by a bee, etc.).

It sucks SO BAD.

My daughter is this way too, telling me thi is genetic. However, I will see if we share some similar aspects.

I am a Virgo and she is an Aries.

Edit - we both have our suns squaring our moons. The only other significant thing for her might be Jupiter in the 6th (and she is super concerned with her health).
