Understanding Social Anxiety

Many individuals spend a significant amount of time worrying about how others perceive them, often leading to anxiety and misconceptions about their social interactions. This tendency to ruminate can cause people to underestimate the positive impressions they actually make on others. Research suggests that individuals often fear being judged harshly by their peers, leading them to misinterpret social cues and interactions. Overcoming these distorted perceptions can help individuals navigate their social environments with more confidence and assurance.
