そう in "あなたはどうしてそう私を心配させるの"


I understand そう normally means "seems that way", "I think so", etc. In this
case, そう comes after どうして and before 私. Which word before or after should be
paid attention to in this case to derive the meaning of そう? And if those words
don't matter, than what does そう mean in this sentence?




そう is an adverb and is linked to the verb 心配させる. It basically is a less formal
way of saying そのように (like that). You can translate it as "so much" if you want
a natural English, but IMO it is not the best way to interpret it.

> あなたはどうしてそう私を心配させるの : Why do you make me worry like that/so much?
