*CONTAINS SPOILERS*

If you are a part of the "The Walking Dead" family, you know for certain one thing is bound to occur before you sit down to watch an episode. That one thing is the roller coaster of anxiety that it will take you on. Ever since season one, episode one, "The Walking Dead" has left us on our toes, leaving us wondering what will happen. If you're anything like me, you also develop a very emotional attachment to the characters. For me, that happens to be Daryl Dixon aka Norman Reedus. If anything happens to him, I promise there will be a guaranteed riot, organized by me.

When someone or something especially threatens our characters or leaves us wondering what will happen we are left in a pool of our own anxiety.

Here are five things that make all The Walking Dead fans quiver with anxiety:

1. Walker Noises

I think that when all TWD fans hear the classic gurgles from the walkers that signal their close arrival, we have a little break down screaming at our TV. We want to make sure that our favorite people get the hell out of there.

2. Cliffhangers

Props to all the creators that make TWD a reality, but do you all really need to give a cliffhanger every episode? My poor heart can only take so much. Let's not forget the recent traumatizing cliffhanger of not knowing who Negan killed at the end of season six. Then there was a heart attack moment where we realize he doesn't just kill one person, but TWO.

R.I.P Glenn and Abraham. You will be missed.

3. Separation from the Group

We do not take separation well. I do not like when the whole Rick Grimes squad is divided. POWER IN NUMBERS PEOPLE! There have been countless times where the group was divided, whether it was out of force or choice. Daryl's recent forced departure from the group is very hard for us all. *glares at Negan*

4. Outsiders

If you think the characters don't trust outsiders when they meet them in the show, how do you think the TWD family feels? I just want to jump into the TV and protect them from the cruel world, and that includes scolding them for trusting or making deals with some shady people.

5. Their Pain is Our Pain

This is the worst feeling a fan of the show can go through. When they hurt, WE HURT. When someone dies, I swear it's like I'm mourning with them. We get so emotionally attached to them, that our feelings become in sync. When they cry, we cry, etc. It's an emotional roller coaster. All we want to do is protect our babies.

In conclusion, "The Walking Dead" has a huge impact on people, and by impact, I mean messing up my damn emotions.
