    An uneasy feeling of doubt, worry or fear --

    Yeah, unfortunately, I can say I  think that way, and feel that way, more often than I'd like. The thoughts and feelings could be about almost anything but often seem to "boil down" to a fear of people being mad at me. Or I've angered someone.

    I'm doing much better along those lines, though. People in my life even see my progression. :)

      Shouldn’t that be “which” exit?

    Perhaps, but the old joke about people from New Jersey is typically expressed as "What exit?"

    New Yorkers typically look down their noses at New Jersey, which, to them, only exists for the purpose of driving along the New Jersey Turnpike. Hence, when someone says he or she is from New Jersey, a glib New Yorker responds, "What exit?"

      I’m not 100% sure, but I think the misspelling was intentional.
