Social anxiety, also known as social phobia, can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming. Whether it’s fear of judgment, rejection, or embarrassment, individuals with social anxiety often experience intense discomfort in social situations. This can lead to avoidance of gatherings, trouble speaking up at work or school, fear of public speaking, and a constant worry about how others perceive you.

While these situations are challenging for many people, those with social anxiety may feel extreme fear, leading to avoidance or distress that impacts their ability to enjoy life and connect with others. Social anxiety doesn’t just impact your social life—it can also affect your career, relationships, and overall well-being.

Social anxiety is characterized by a persistent fear of social or performance situations where you may be exposed to scrutiny by others. This can lead to physical symptoms such as sweating, trembling, rapid heartbeat, or nausea. The fear of being judged or rejected becomes so intense that it interferes with daily functioning.
