Could you explain the meaning of anxiety to me?
As a german I've heard that word and google it. Google Translator told its "Angst", which is the german word for fear. Also if you give "Angst" into google translator it shows me fear, so wheres the difference between anxiety and fear?

Anxienty is like a feeling that something will happen. Like i am "anxious" to go to the movies! Fear is being afraid of something.

They go hand in hand, fear is being "afraid" of something in the dark, anxiety is being weary of the dark and/or being paranoid.

Yeah thanks dude, im sitting here, trying to find a good sentence to explain it to myself. But in most cases, you could use both, anxious and afraid. I feel like german language just makes it way more difficult for me to understand.

That is the case, language barriers can be tricky. You can be anxious to figure out what score you got on your test, but you fear the outcome.
