What Is Social Anxiety?
Social anxiety, also known as social phobia, is a type of anxiety disorder that involves intense fear or discomfort in social situations. People with social anxiety may feel self-conscious, judged, or embarrassed when they are in situations where they have to interact with others, such as speaking in public, meeting new people, attending parties, or eating in public. They may also worry excessively before and after these events, which can interfere with their daily lives.
Social anxiety is a common mental health condition that affects millions of people around the world. It can be debilitating and can have a significant impact on a person's personal and professional life if left untreated. However, there are effective treatments available, such as therapy and medication, that can help people manage their symptoms and lead a fulfilling life.
