The protagonist and a certain character share a scene in the bathroom, where the latter is clearly hyperventilating while the protagonist is uncomfortable, scared. A dark shadow is spread on the floor and the character portrait changes to portray their anxiety. This scene is unskippable.

There are also several other, debatable, moments of anxiety in which the protagonist is clearly unnerved as they face a manifestation of their phobia. The last boss also features similar traits of anxiety.

**MAJOR SPOILERS**

Riley gets an anxiety attack after getting a penalty in the big game tryouts, courtesy of Anxiety going out of control on the control panel. Riley's heart pounds and her breathing gets heavy as her mind races from the trauma because she's nervous about failing the big game, and thus not being able to impress Val and her hockey team. Thankfully, Joy successfully restores Riley's original Belief System/Sense of Self, which echoes positive affirmations about Riley. Joy then calls out Anxiety for being overprotective of Riley, and almost all the other Emotions hug the Belief System/Sense of Self to calm Riley down. Riley also confesses to her old friends her worries about them going to different high schools, and they assure her that they'll keep in touch, relieving Riley of her anxiety.
