Ways to Deal With Social Anxiety Disorder
Social anxiety disorder, often referred to as social phobia, is more than just the feeling of shyness or being nervous in social situations. It's a consistent and overwhelming fear of being judged, embarrassed, or humiliated in everyday social interactions that you are part of daily. Suppose you’ve ever felt like you’re the center of everyone’s judgment in social settings even though no one is paying attention. In that case, you might be familiar with the feelings that come with this condition. It’s not just about being uncomfortable; it’s about an intense fear that you might say something wrong or do something wrong and that others might notice how nervous you are. This kind of anxiety can lead to avoiding social situations altogether, which, as you can imagine, can interfere with daily life whether it’s at your workplace, school, or even when casually meeting friends.
