szorongó

Szorongó is a Hungarian word that translates to "anxious" or "worried" in English. It describes a state of emotional distress characterized by feelings of unease, nervousness, or apprehension, often about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. In a psychological context, szorongó can refer to a personality trait or a temporary emotional state.

When used to describe a person, "szorongó" implies someone who tends to worry excessively or experiences persistent feelings of anxiety. This can manifest in various ways, including physical symptoms like a racing heart, sweating, or difficulty breathing, as well as mental symptoms such as intrusive thoughts, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating.

The term can also be used in a more general sense to describe a situation or atmosphere that evokes a feeling of anxiety. For example, a "szorongó hangulat" might describe a somber or tense mood. While often associated with negative feelings, a degree of anxiety is a normal human response to stress and can sometimes be a motivator. However, when anxiety becomes persistent and overwhelming, it may indicate a more serious condition.
