Social Anxiety
Social Phobia (also called Social Anxiety Disorder) is an intense, persistent fear of social situations in which a person fears being judged, criticized, embarrassed, or rejected. The fear response in social anxiety is disproportionate to the actual threat posed by everyday interactions. Unlike ordinary shyness, social anxiety disorder leads to significant distress and avoidance that interferes with daily activities, work, school, and relationships. Those with social anxiety can experience severe physical symptoms like blushing, sweating, trembling, a pounding heart, or feeling sick and may go to great lengths to avoid social gatherings, speaking in public, or even routine conversations. Social anxiety disorder affects millions, often starting in the teenage years, and may persist without treatment.
Individuals with phobia often recognize that their fear is excessive. This awareness alone does not make phobia something that can be 'toughed' out. Phobia is a disorder that requires thoughtful, intentional treatment in order to reduce safety and avoidance behaviors and replace them with new behaviors.
