How can I better recognize my own emotions?

I've been feeling a bit off lately, but I can't quite pinpoint why.

It's common to feel that way. Can you describe any specific feelings or situations that might be contributing?

I often feel anxious, especially in social situations, but I don't know if that's the only emotion I'm experiencing.

Anxiety can often mask other emotions. Have you noticed any physical sensations or thoughts that accompany your anxiety?

I get a tight feeling in my chest and start overthinking everything.

That tightness could be a sign of stress. It might help to take a moment to breathe deeply and check in with yourself. What else do you feel?

I think I also feel a bit lonely, especially when I'm around others.

Feeling lonely in a crowd is more common than you might think. It’s important to acknowledge that feeling. Would you like to explore ways to connect with others?
