Get the Anxiety mug.Anxiety isn’t just worrying about a specific thing. Sometimes it’s where you aren’t really thinking about a specific bad thing that will happen, but you just have this overwhelming sense of fear and dread like something will. It’s more about a feeling than thoughts.

Get the Anxiety mug.The specific, persistent state of hyper-vigilance and dread that stems from being part of a marginalized group. It’s the gut-clench before speaking in a meeting where you’re the only person of color, wondering if your point will be ignored or credited to someone else. It’s the scanning of a room for safe exits or allies, not for fun, but as a survival protocol. This anxiety is future-oriented, rooted in the learned expectation that social environments are minefields of potential prejudice, rejection, or danger, leading to a constant, draining state of alert.
Example: Maria, the only Black woman in her corporate department, experiences Minority Anxiety every performance review season. Despite excellent metrics, she feels a knot in her stomach, anticipating that her "communication style" might be critiqued as "too aggressive," a coded bias she's faced before. This anxiety is a proactive defense mechanism against anticipated slights.
