Is excitement similar to anxiety?

Jon

Is excitement similar to anxiety? I know that excitement is generally seen as negative and anxiety is seen as negative but there is some kind of overlap in the physical symptoms. I just wondered what other people on here thought?

  • Hi - excitement is often described as a positive + enthusiastic feeling.   Excitation, which is similar, is described as agitation, being flustered etc.  So excitation is allied to excitement but a bit different.   I wouldn't describe being excited as being negative, generally speaking, but can understand how the word is used in that way, especially "over-excited" which can also have physical symptoms, as can excitation.
