Social Anxiety Is Critical to Talk About and to Look At
Anxiety easily builds to social anxiety too. I ran an anxiety social group for girls and one of the things we talked about was how there would be times when they were going out with their friends, right? And because they're excited, their heart's beating a little faster. They got some butterflies in their stomach,. They're breathing a little faster, a little more shallowly. Those physical symptoms of excitement are also the physical symptoms of anxiety. If you're prone to anxiety anyway, you might be excited about seeing your friend or going to their house and misinterpret that excitement as anxiety.
