To think that anxiety in relationships should often be trusted?

I have seen a lot of threads recently where posters are anxious about a relationship. Personally, I had a relationship where I was constantly anxious. He accused me of being needy. It turned out my gut feeling was right. I can't help thinking that anxiety is often a bit feeling that the relationship is wrong.
I do suffer from anxiety at times, but in my current relationship, I never worry about his feelings or the amount of contact we have. In the past when I've worried that someone's behaviour had changed, that they were losing interest, I was always correct.
People often blame themselves for being anxious or clingy or needy. Aibu to think that in the right relationship, the anxiety may not be such an issue for most of us? I really think we don't trust our instincts enough.

It seems like nearly everyone on MN "suffers from anxiety".

I can't trust it.

Online can be a good outlet for people with anxiety. You can feel less hipervigilent of every single word when you are anonymous.
