Did you guess the difference between these adjectives❓ Well; if you are 😕, don´t 😟 don´t 😢. Let´s see their uses 😉.

Worried
If 👨👩 are worried, they are 😐 because keep thinking about problems, or something unpleasant that might happen.
     Why Mike had that worried expression the last weekend?
                                      ↳ worried expression
     She is worried about her mum.
                    ↳ worried + about + sb
     I was a bit worried about the exam.
                         ↳ worried + about + sth
     Mike was worried that he couldn't have enough time to finish the project.
                        ↳ worried + that + clause

Afraid
You could be afraid if you get 😧 because you think that 👨/👩 or something could hurt you, or a bad thing may happen.
      I'm afraid of heights.
              ↳ afraid + of + sth
      Her mum has a terrible temper so her's afraid of her.
                                                                      ↳ afraid + of + sb

Remember❗
When we want to say that somebody think too much about a problem, we say that they are worried.
While, we use afraid of someone or something when people feel fear.
In case people seems to be worried because they are thinking that something bad may happen, we say that they are worried about/that it or they are afraid of/to it.
