Who is worth my anxiety?

You worry about things that are not in your control. You lose sleep over decisions you didn't make. You take on responsibilities that are not yours. And the source of your anxiety always has a face – but almost never your own.

Somewhere along the way, you learned to care for others more than you care for yourself. To anticipate, to adapt, to endure. And, without realizing it, anxiety became a way for you to relate to others.

Psychologist Elena Soltaridou isn't suggesting you become indifferent. She is suggesting you learn to distinguish: what truly belongs to you and what you have simply taken on out of habit, fear, or a need for acceptance.

Through 45 short chapters, this book helps you see which relationships are fueled by your anxiety – and how to stop feeding them.
