Understanding Social Anxiety

Social anxiety is a common issue that many people struggle with. It's important to understand the difference between shyness and social anxiety in order to address it effectively.

Shyness is a personality trait characterized by feeling uncomfortable or reserved in social situations. It is a milder form of social anxiety and doesn't typically cause significant distress.

On the other hand, social anxiety is a mental health disorder characterized by a persistent fear of social situations. It can lead to significant distress and impact various areas of life.

To distinguish between shyness and social anxiety, pay attention to the intensity of the fear or discomfort experienced in social situations. If it significantly interferes with daily life and causes distress, it may indicate social anxiety.

In the post, I explain in detail the symptoms and signs of social anxiety, so make sure to watch it for a comprehensive understanding.
