Using features for people

If somebody gets/feels anxious when doing something new or for the first time, can they call it a feature of theirs? Getting anxious is my feature.. would that usage be correct?

I thought features are more used for products.. and physical features in case of human beings


Thanks!

Hi Pen Navy I get anxious with new things sometimes and I'd just say it's a bit of a problem There's a joke with IT software and apps: if a customer complains of a problem, tell them it's not a bug, it's a feature. I suspect that your sentence comes about in the same way So, yes, features usually refer to products and human physical appearances, but sometimes people joke that their difficulties are features Regards, Dave
