Anxiety will influence the way a person act and behave.
Anxiety is a universal emotion. We constantly feel anxious when we are threatened or frighten. Though it may vary by its level (from slight to total panic) everyone experiences this emotion from time to time. In fact anxiety is a useful emotion that helps us do things better, like performing better at your exams or when you answer questions in a job interview.
Anxiety does become a problem when it gets way out of the levels of “normal.” When you start to feel anxious so frequently and levels of such anxiety are getting more and more intense it might be hard to get on with your daily tasks. Something that you thought to be normal some time ago all of the sudden becomes a major hurdle in day-to-day life.
Anxiety affects the way people think, the things they do (behavior) and the way they feel.

Dizziness, sweating, tingling, trembling and restlessness are also often signs of anxiety. Although it might seem as these symptoms are a normal functions of your body when it feels anxious, but during anxiety attack these physical symptoms are very frightening.
As mentioned above, anxiety will also influence a person’s behavior. Most of the time anxiety sufferer will try to avoid all the situations that make him anxious or afraid. A sufferer will often become snappy, irritable, start drinking and smoking more, the speech will be like a rapid-fire. It is not uncommon that people experiencing anxiety will sleep worse and less.
