It's one of my all times favourites and i had never felt anxiety while reading it. Maybe sudden realization that you are that good of a person provoked by empathy to MC may trigger anxiety? Because I certainly had this kind of empathy amd it is the exact reason i like the book so much. By pointing out flaws it literally makes you a better person. On top of it there is decent anime adaptation in the series called Aoi Bungaku Series

I do have a lot of empathy towards Yozo, probably because I've personally experienced some of the same thoughts that I've seen Yozo display so far. I've never really thought of myself as a good or bad person though. It's strange, but I really like it and I'm not sure why. Aside from the moments of extreme anxiety, I can't seem to put the book down. I read through two chapters since I posted this story. Also, I might check out that adaptation series you mentioned. I do like anime, so it may be worth a shot.

Maybe it just speaks to your subconscious directly? And after finishing and reflexing on it for a bit you might develop reasonable explanation.
