What Is Social Anxiety Disorder?
Many people feel nervous in social situations, but for some individuals, this anxiety is so severe that it interferes with their relationships and daily life. They may withdraw from work, school, and other activities to avoid being placed in situations that could cause them stress. When this happens, it’s referred to as “social anxiety disorder” or “social phobia.”
People with social anxiety disorder often experience stress, fear, embarrassment, or self-consciousness during everyday interactions such as:
- Making eye contact with someone
- Starting a conversation
- Talking to a stranger
- Eating or drinking in front of others
- Answering a question in class
- Attending a job interview
- Going on a date
- Returning an item to a store
- Using a public restroom
To make matters worse, individuals with this condition often worry that they’ll begin showing noticeable signs of their anxiety—such as blushing or sweating—which in turn causes them to feel even more stressed.
