Social Anxiety
Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, is a type of anxiety disorder that causes anxiety or fear in social settings. A person with social anxiety disorder feels symptoms of anxiety or fear in situations where they may be scrutinized, evaluated, or judged by others, such as speaking in public, meeting new people, dating, being on a job interview, answering a question in class, or having to talk to a cashier in a store. Symptoms of social anxiety include intense worry before, during, and after a social situation, avoiding social situations or trying to blend into the background if you must attend, self-consciousness and fear of doing something embarrassing, concerns that others will notice you’re stressed or nervous, feeling a need to consume alcohol to help face a social situation, and missing school or work because of anxiety.
