Me, personally I don't feel that emotion at the beginning of each year. I feel the opposite instead, I am feeling hopeful, grateful and full of excitement, maybe because I feel like new year also gives me like a fresh start. Most of the people I know also feels the same way as I do. I haven't met one who is afraid and anxious at the beginning of the year. I guess, that is just normal if something negative happened in the past during the same season that triggers those kinds of emotions. I don't know, I can be wrong.
