I've found improv to be frustrating (but not anxiety inducing) in the sense that you can "yes and" a topic to a place that's difficult for someone else to pick up.
Almost like you're playing catch, but you tossed the ball to a place that makes it too hard for your friend to catch. Another example would be writing a comment (even this one) and consciously making sure it's easy to reply to, rather than just expressing myself.
I suppose it's like having a binary tree, and trying to pick a node that's not too far down the tree.
I find myself having to take a step back and consider what I'm going to say and if it makes sense (in general) for someone else to continue off of rather than just talking.
