I'm pretty sure the answer to this is yes, which begs the question do you think you would be a better person without anxiety, or would you lose something in your personality, the compassion, empathy and determination sufferers have, demonstrated by the friendly nature of people in this forum. I dearly would love to be free of all my anxiety but in anxious people I see qualities which I admire and see some of these qualities in myself. Although I see this level of anxiety overall tobe a bad thing It is clear that it makes us into people we would not be if it were not part of us.
