Don Knotts Was Anxious

A hypochondriac is someone who extremely anxious about their heath. They constantly think they are dying and have a bad habit of diagnosing themselves (incorrectly) with all kinds of diseases. In a general sense, people are already somewhat concerned with their health and that can lead them to act in certain ways and changing the way they live. Someone who is extremely worried about their health is just a whole new level.

Don Knotts was a hypochondriac. He always felt that he was inferior. One of the offset actions he would take part in is spending several days hiding in his bed prior to a performance. That sounds like he had it bad, and dealt with it the best way he could.
