Vocabulary
uneasy/worried about something
Hello,
I may be wrong, but I (kind of) think that uneasy is not as strong as worried. Here's a sentence:
- She's uneasy/worried about traveling alone.
- I am uneasy/worried about the new change.
I don't think I'd use "worried" in #1, but I need a sentence, so...
Uneasy suggests to me that there's something making him/her feel uncomfortable or a little anxious/nervous.
I am probably wrong, so feel free to correct me. Thank you.

The two words mean the same thing, uncomfortable, but the sense is slightly different, and "uneasy" is actually the stronger word, in US usage (Clive is Canadian).

"She's worried about traveling alone." (The person has a general unease abo
