I've never been diagnosed with any kind of anxiety disorder, but having a much greater knowledge of them through training through the work I do, I am pretty confident that I suffered severely with an anxiety disorder in my teenage years. I felt very conscious of talking to new people, more so apparently than ordinary people, and I was always worrying constantly on a daily basis about what other people thought of me and my actions. Having had training since to deal with people that suffer from all kinds of mental health disorders, I now understand that it's likely I was suffering with a moderate to severe form of anxiety disorder as a teenager.
As I've grown up, I've become much less anxious, and I no longer think I'd fit any diagnostic criteria for an anxiety disorder. Of course, I still worry about things sometimes, but not more so than the average person I think.

Majority of people becomes more anxious especially those how have a work pressure add to cedentary and bad posture during work add to not practice sports and addiction solutions like tobacco or alchool that never solve their daily problems.
I can understand that. For me, I've dealt with a lot of stresses in my late teenage/early adulthood years... my life is a lot less chaotic and unpredictable now than it was 5-10 years ago. So for me, that's worked to reduce my anxiety and worries a lot. It also helps that the job I do right now is a job I genuinely really enjoy, so I don't find it stressful much if at all.
I’m glad you are able to handle your anxiety differently. I have been there and one thing I learnt is: we don’t have to always let anxiety get the best of us. There are always ways to deal with it. Engaging in your regular routine is beneficial because it deals with anxiety and worrying squarely. of decreasing stress and anxiety levels.
No, I have not been diagnosed with anxiety disorder. However, my spouse has a history of anxiety disorder. And she got it from her father. before I knew about my spouse's anxiety I did not know it could be hereditary. Based on what I have dealt with someone should be always around the person who has anxiety issues. You should never leave them alone.
I have a very firm opinion that this kind of support is very important to cope with anxiety disorders. Someone to talk to and being there in time of crises are all effective ways of managing the symptoms. When helping a person suffering from anxiety, it is important to remain as tolerant as much as possible.
I absolutely agree that a regular routine is great for helping deal with anxieties. That being said, when a routine gets disturbed (which can happen for many reasons in normal, everyday life), this can sometimes cause me to get some feelings of nervousness or anxiousness, as it's disturbing what is essentially a coping mechanism.
