Social Anxiety Disorder

This is a form of incorrect thinking which usually learned from a parent or parental figure from an early age. Because we humans are mostly the result of our early childhood these fears can become etched into the brain as default behaviors, causing a person to live a nervous and unfulfilled life.

While social anxiety disorder is commonly linked to other disorders such as depression, obsessive compulsive disoder, and and panic disorder- it can also be experienced as a single condition. Some common fears amoung those affected include;

• fear of answering the phone (what will I say? what if they are in a good mood and I just bring them down? what if they dont like me or judge me?)
• being watched over or looked at by people (what are they thinking about me? are they thinking bad things about me? did I make a mistake? I have to look cool, together, friendly, etc…)
• asking questions in public (people will think im dumb, people wont like me)
• eating or drinking food in front of other people (what if I have food in my teeth? are they judging me?)

Most anxiety is caused by your own thinking, but we humans are animals and instantly react to our thoughts with emotions. This reaction happens so fast sometimes it slips under the radar and we dont realize it. Some symptoms of soxial anxiety disorder;
