• You over process information, decisions, and possibilities before acting.
• You tend to be pessimistic about the present and future.
• You constantly dwell into negative past experiences.
• You worry about everything.
• You feel awkward when someone compliments you. You also believe they don’t mean their compliments or are mocking you in some way. 
• You are your harshest critic.

While there is no scoring system here to rate your anxiety, it does help you to understand if you are anxiety-prone or not. The more items you check, the more likely you are suffering from anxiety, depression or both.
