What is Social Anxiety?

Social anxiety, or social phobia, is an intense fear of being judged, embarrassed, or rejected during social interactions. It goes beyond shyness, often leading to avoidance of events like parties, meetings, or even simple conversations. This anxiety can affect your relationships, work life, and overall sense of well-being.

Those with social anxiety often experience both physical symptoms—like a racing heart, sweating, or shaking—and mental symptoms, such as negative self-talk or the fear of making a mistake. It can be rooted in past experiences, low self-esteem, or a fear of criticism. The good news is that with the right understanding and support, you can learn to manage social anxiety and regain confidence.
