The difference between the words anxious and worried is that "anxious" describes an uneasy feeling prompted by some fear, whereas "worried" refers to uneasy feeling prompted by the fear of consequences of some action or decision.
Anxious typically refers to a general feeling of unease, nervousness, or fear without a specific cause, while worried is more specific and usually involves concerns about a particular issue or situation. Anxious feelings can be ongoing and generalized, while worry tends to be focused on a specific event or outcome.
"Is worried" is the present tense form of the verb "worry," used when describing someone's current state of being anxious or concerned. "Worried" is the past tense and past participle form of the verb, used to indicate that someone was anxious or concerned in the past.
Anxious can be another word for nervous.
Sentence: I am anxious to know the outcome of the surgery. Sentence: I am eager to start my new job.
