Anxious is negative. Eager is positive.

If you're looking forward to seeing someone, you're eager for their visit. If their visit is a cause of stress and you're waiting to get it over with, you're anxious to see them.

Anxious conveys worry, unease, and nervousness.

Eager- excitement, impatience, happiness.

I just see these confused a lot. Hehe, this is the first writing tip that I've posted.

I never thought there was a difference. If you didn't post that I probably would never have known. That's a good tip. :wink:
