Anxious People

3. I wanted money but found meaning, wore a mask but dropped all shielding. Who am I?
7. I’ve seen too much and speak too little. A cop, a dad, with secrets brittle. Who am I?
9. I’m not easy, but I free. You give me, yet you gain. Without me, you stay in pain. What am I?
10. I sit behind smiles and quiet tones. I bind and hide, yet long to be known. What am I?
11. You walked in for help but met rejection. I’m where rules rule and hearts are checked. What am I?
13. With life inside, I walk the line between fear and hope all the time. Who am I?
15. I'm cold, rich, and read a letter that changed me. I hide behind sharp words, but grief broke me. Who am I?
16. I seem fragile and old, with tea always warm. But I see more than I say, and I hide someone’s form. Who am I?
17. I showed up in fur, not fashion, with logic quite out of fashion. I play dress-up, but I’m more than a joke. Who am I?

1. I’m not seen, but felt. I grow when strangers meet and hearts melt. What am I?
2. More than a feeling, I am an action. I see your pain and move in reaction. What am I?
4. I love drills and hate emotions, I talk more than I think in social situations. Who am I?
5. I let you see with another’s sight. I turn judgement into light. What am I?
6. I hang between two edges and hold heavy thoughts. A silent witness to a fall, but also to second chances. What am I?
8. I wear the badge but carry pain, I chase the truth in silent rain. Who am I?
12. I plan, I fix, I outthink my man. I flip more than houses if I can. Who am I?
14. I’m a temporary home where truths unfold, strangers collide, and courage is told. What am I?
