One thing I've never understood about other people's descriptions of anxiety is the need for hugs or comfort.

I have some pretty bad issues with anxiety, but the only thing that helps is solitude. If I interact with people, I just end up taking out my fear and frustration on them. I've lost a few friendships this way. 

I just have to cloister myself until the feelings pass.
