I think sometimes that being overly polite and always asking people's feelings is overrated and can make you seem TOO agreeable. While this is a common and useful trait women are much better at, it can be too much at times.
As far as the anxieties I found that changing my diet seemed to cure that somehow. I started eating '0' processed sugars, then went full on organic, and haven't looked back since! Good luck and be patient ;).
