So, it is just the fact that it is so unexpected that makes you anxious. I'm not sure what you could do about that to help break yourself of that feeling, but I do think it is somewhat normal under the circumstances of you living in a gated community where people usually always "buzz the intercom" first. Your reaction is certainly a little bit extreme though.
Yeah, I guess I'm not really asking IIN in a way that's asking IIN to react like that (I'm aware it's not), more just wanting to know if other people get like this, too.
Is it normal that when someone knocks on my apartment door, I freeze?

You sound like you were traumatized before. Did you have a significantly bad experience with stranger(s) or something?

I've had anxiety and depression issues in the past, but when I wasn't living on my own, this was never a problem.
Also, I don't freak out if someone buzzes the intercom at the gate. Just the door knock.

You mean your a cat? My cat does this. I bet you have a beautiful fur coat. Usually when I get an unexpected knock I fall off the couch.

Thank you for your response, though.
