Do mean people increase your anxiety?

Do mean people increase your anxiety? Whenever someone who is supposed to be a friend or family gets angry at me, my anxiety sky rockets, I stop talking to them, and I run and hide.

Anyone else like this?

I tend to get anxious around people who are always picking at people or insulting people. I don't like conflict either or people who talk too loudly or quickly.

It depends, if it is somebody I don't know says something I usually get mad, if it's somebody like a friend or family I feel like betrayed or something and I'll be like "whatever, I don't really need you" type of thing
 
Yes, I know exactly what your talking about, my anxiety goes through the roof when that happens too.
I get this terrible feeling of dread, that I have done something really bad, even if their just angry at me for just a little thing.

YES! Mean people make me extremely uncomfortable. I can't stand conflict so if there's someone in the room who's causing a ton of it, my immediate reaction to is to try to find an exit.

Yes!

I'd feel like thier is something wrong with me if they started being mean to me since i try my best to make everyone happy. Also if my mum is mad at me i start panicking and feel like i need to punish myself for not being upto her standards. I seem to be constantly seeking her approval. :confused:

Mean people definately do increase it. If i see someone with a mean facial expression i imediately feel intimidated.
