Understanding Social Anxiety
Social anxiety is a common experience, characterized by discomfort or fear in social situations where a person is concerned about being judged. It can become chronic and disabling if not addressed, leading to negative thoughts, avoidance behaviors, and missed opportunities. Social anxiety disorder is the term used when it interferes with daily activities. Roughly 40 million American adults have some type of anxiety disorder. Symptoms include rapid heartbeat, trembling, and negative thinking. It is important to recognize the impact of avoidance and the potential for self-esteem issues and lost relationships. Seeking professional help can be beneficial in managing social anxiety.
