What Is Social Anxiety?
Social anxiety is a type of anxiety disorder that causes a person to experience excessive fear, nervousness, and self-consciousness in social situations. People with social anxiety may feel intense anxiety and fear in situations where they are the center of attention, such as giving a speech, meeting new people, or attending social events.
This anxiety can be so severe that it interferes with a person’s ability to function normally in daily life, and as a result of that, they may tend to avoid social situations altogether.
Common symptoms of social anxiety include:
Feeling as though other people are always watching or judging them
Worrying excessively before and after social events
Avoiding social situations with a fear of getting criticized or humiliated by others
Difficulty making eye contact or speaking in public
Difficulty starting or maintaining conversations with other people
Disclaimer: If these symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning, and last for at least 6 months or longer, it might be considered a disorder.
