so if you've been having a hard time figuring it out yourself here are six of the most common causes of anxiety.
如果你自己弄不清楚，那么以下是6种最常见的焦虑症原因。
1. Overthinking, also called rumination in psychological terms.
1.思虑过度，在心理学上也被称为沉思默想。
This is when you make a big deal out of everything to the point
这是指你把一切事情都看得很重要
where every experience and interaction you have starts to seem negative.
以至于你的每一次经历和互动都开始显得消极。
Reading too much into everything from the slightest change in someone's voice
从某人声音的细微变化到面部表情的变化，
to the settles of facial expressions it can be enough to drive anyone mad.
过度解读足以让人发狂。
Sweating the small stuff and never letting anything go can keep you up at night,
为鸡毛蒜皮的小事烦心和绝不放手，会让你夜不能寐
obsessively thinking about that small mistake you made years ago.
过分沉迷于你多年前犯的那个小错误。
Overthinking can make you worry about the most unimportant details
过度思考会让你担心最不重要的细节，
and twist everything in your mind into something much much worse than it actually is.
把你脑海里的一切都扭曲成比实际糟糕得多的东西。
2. Overachieving.
2. 过于进取。
While the high of excelling at something can be a wonderful feeling,
虽然擅长某件事并将其做到最好是一种美妙的感觉，
in the end, it's not worth all the anxiety you end up giving yourself in the long-run.
但最终所带来的长期焦虑是不值得的。
Overworking yourself and feeling stressed out all the time leads you to becoming more susceptible to anxiety and depression.
长期的过度工作和压力会使你更容易焦虑和抑郁。
When you strive for unrealistically high goals, you're only setting yourself up for failure and disappointment.
当你去追求不现实的高目标时，你只会让自己走向失败和失望。
You may feel compelled to busy yourself with work or school all the time and feel guilty about relaxing and having fun.
你或许会被迫忙于自己的工作或学业，并对放松和休息有罪恶感。
You never feel contented with yourself or what you've achieved
你从未对自己或自己的成就满意过
because there's always some other mountain you think you need to climb.
因为总有其他你认为应该攀爬的高山。
3. Low self-esteem.
3. 低自尊。
In today's day and age when popularity comes at the price of your privacy,
在这个人气以隐私为代价的现代，
the Internet makes it easy for you to feel like you always need to impress everyone.
互联网让你很容易觉得你需要给每个人留下深刻印象。
Some people think that their social media presence defines who they are,
一些人认为他们的社交存在定义了他们，
so the pressure to be accepted and well-liked by others has reached an all-time high.

This is probably why having a negative self-image has become one of the most common causes of anxiety everywhere.
这或许就是为什么消极的自我形象已经成为了这个世界最常见的焦虑原因之一。

Self-doubt can make the prospect of being judged and criticized by those around you absolutely horrifying,
自我怀疑会让周围的人对你的评价和批评变得一件非常可怕的事情
however, caring too much about what other people think and letting this fear rule your life is not healthy.
但太在乎别人的看法，并让这种恐惧统治你的生活，这是不利健康的。
4. Pessimistic thinking.
4. 悲观的想法。
Similar to overthinking, pessimistic thinking is another kind of mind trap
和过度思考一样，悲观想法是大部分焦虑症患者
most people with anxiety find themselves falling into a lot of the time.
常常会陷入其中的另一种心灵陷阱。
This means you're always worrying about the worst things that could happen at any given situation.
这意味着你总是担心在任何情况下可能发生的最坏的事情。
Having a negative mindset about yourself, your circumstances or those around you
对自己、环境或周围的人有消极的心态
makes it difficult for you to feel calm, because you're forever finding something new to worry about.
让你难以感到平静，因为你总能找到新的事情去担心。
You can't turn even the smallest inconvenience into a downward spiral of anxiety and depression, it's hard to escape.
你甚至不能把最小的不便变成焦虑和抑郁的减记恶性循环，你难以逃离。
5. Traumatic events.
5. 创伤性事件。
Any negative experience you may have had in the past plays an important role in shaping your fears and anxieties, even if you don't know it.
过往的任何一个消极经历都在你的恐惧和焦虑中扮演重要角色，即便是你没有意识到的事情。
Our sense of self-preservation is so strong that oftentimes our minds will do everything they can to keep us happy and safe.
我们的自我保护意识非常强烈，因此有时我们的大脑会做一切事情保证我们的快乐和安全。
This can avoid anything that may have previously given us to stress or anxiety.
这可以避免任何可能会给我们带来压力或焦虑的事情。
In fact, this is one of the most common reasons why we develop phobias.
事实上，这是恐惧症产生的最常见原因之一。
When it comes to anxiety on the other hand, traumatic events teach us what to fear and be wary of, no matter how irrational it may seem.
而对于焦虑症，创伤性时间教会我们该恐惧什么，警惕什么不管它看起来多么荒谬。
So if you find yourself feeling anxious for seemingly no reason at all,
所以如果你发现自己似乎无缘无故的感到焦虑，
it might be because you have some deep-seated trauma or lingering issues you still need to resolve.
那么这可能是因为你有一些深层次的创伤或挥之不去的问题需要解决。
And 6. New experiences. Finally.

Learning to embrace change takes a lot of emotional maturity, of course, the nervousness and worry that accompanies it is only normal.
学会接受变化需要情感上的成熟，当然过程中也常会伴随着紧张和担忧。
In fact, it can even drive you to do better and try harder, if you let it inspire you and remind you of all the possibilities life has to offer.
