Social Anxiety Introduction
Social Anxiety or social phobia, is a series of emotions – but commonly recognized as fear – that appear because of a sense of being evaluated by others and during social situations.
This is a disorder that makes people self conscious leading to tension and lots of mental imagery. In a social situation, sufferers of social anxiety become tense, nervous, and a creeping fear start taking control of them. Even activities which are supposed to be fun like parties end up being unbearable.
People who have social phobia strive to be liked, they need to feel approved and desperately want to “fit in” the world around them. However, any effort for becoming likeable and sociable so end up being sabotaged by their own thoughts.
