Your Type
You have a skill for temporarily pushing anxiety down — tell yourself 'it's fine,' and keep moving. This makes you look calm and keeps you functional. The cost: suppressed anxiety is waiting somewhere. The moment you feel it most clearly is usually late at night, or in a quiet gap between things.
💡 Did you know?
Suppression-based anxiety coping research shows that 'I'm fine' people actually outperform acknowledged-anxiety people in short-term task performance — but 24 hours later, the suppression group's cortisol levels are 27% higher than the expression group, with significant long-term immune function impact.
