What is Social Anxiety?

Overcoming Social Anxiety

It’s okay to feel a bit nervous in certain social situations like going on a date or giving a speech – that’s normal.
But when you have social anxiety disorder (also known as social phobia), even everyday interactions can make you very anxious.
You might feel self-conscious and embarrassed because you’re worried that others will judge or criticize you.
People with social anxiety experience extreme self-consciousness, worry about being judged, and usually avoid social gatherings or situations that trigger their anxiety.
