Understanding Social Anxiety

Social anxiety is a phenomenon that can make people feel extremely anxious and uncomfortable in social settings. It is characterized by a fear of being judged or rejected by others. Even individuals who are confident in other areas of their lives may struggle with social anxiety in situations like networking events or small talk. This anxiety can be caused by a deep fear of being seen as inadequate or flawed and can lead to avoidance and isolation.
