Social Anxiety Disorder
Social anxiety disorder, which is also known as social phobia, happens when a person is extremely self-conscious and anxious. It happens everyday in different social situations.
They are extremely fearful of being watched.
They are also fearful of being judged by others. They try to be extremely careful and go out of their way to not do things that could cause them embarrassment.
For a while, they are extremely fearful prior to a situation that they feel can become a
disaster. It can became so bad that they lose focus and can't think straight. With social
anxiety disorder, they can allow this fear to cause them to lose focus.
It doesn't matter whether it happens at school, work or at home. Having social anxiety
disorder can make it difficult for the person affected to cultivate relationships with others.
With social anxiety disorder, it may be somewhat difficult for people to get over their excessive fears and concerns. This is true even if they know that what they feel is not realistic. Some will try to make amends.
Even then there is a feeling of anxiety and they don't feel comfortable when they are around other people. Then they are overly concerned of how others thought of them after the encounter.
A person could be in a social setting (for example, at dinner with someone or more than one person) and they will experience anxiety because they are fearful. They will sweat a lot, blush, shake, or find it difficult to hold a conversation with other people at the table.
They always seem to feel that other people are watching them.
There are over 15 million adults in the United States alone that suffer from social anxiety disorder or social phobia. For the most part, this condition begins as a child and can continue through adolescence.
There are some studies that say genetics plays a part in this. This condition is often coupled with depression or other anxiety disorders or attacks. It is not a good idea for those affected to treat themselves with medication. It could make the situation worse.
This is better treated with professionals that are experienced in this field.
