Like other personality types, the anxious personality is a combination of thought, emotion and behaviour; this combination manifests itself as a state or as a trait characterised by various reactions.
By nature, the anxious personality tends to work hard without regard for rest or pleasure; the satisfaction felt by such a person stems from the degree of mastery they achieve, although the mastery they attain may not bring them happiness, because they do not accept shortcomings or criticism and aspire to achieve levels that, in their perception, may exceed the natural limits of human capability. Although following a routine, being meticulous and showing commitment are traits of a mature, productive personality, extremism and exaggeration in these areas represent a personality disorder that affects the course of their life and their relationships.
