文化与运用 Culture & Usage

焦虑 (jiāolǜ) is a common term used to describe feelings of anxiety, worry, or apprehension. It can be used in everyday conversation as well as in more formal or clinical contexts.

Expressing feelings like stress and anxiety related to work or studies is quite common. The first example sentence, "你在工作中感到紧张和焦虑吗?" (Do you feel tense and anxious at work?), is a relatable question in many modern, fast-paced environments.

Using 总是 (zǒngshì) "always" as in "我总是觉得很焦虑" (I'm always feeling anxious) emphasizes the persistent nature of the feeling.
