I've always had scrambled up body signals and it's annoying. I feel hunger in the back of my throat most of the time. I feel anxiety as a sharp pain in my stomach instead of butterflies. I have gotten butterflies, but only once or twice. When I feel attracted to someone I just feel warm and happy instead of getting butterflies. I don't even know if that counts as attraction.

Are these sensations in your stomach or chest?

The reason I ask is that hunger is felt in throat and chest not the stomach

Anxiety is felt in the chest

But I am not a doctor and there are so many causes for physical symptoms it is best you check with them.

When I feel anxiety I feel a sharp pain right above my belly button. It rarely affects my heart unless I'm very anxious.

Warm and happy counts as attraction :)

Anxiety can be felt all over the body, but usually in the stomach.
