What is Social Anxiety?

Social Anxiety is a fear of being judged or humiliated or being put 'on the spot'..Also known as Social Phobia (scopophobia), Social Anxiety Disorder.

Social Phobia is probably one of the most common phobias that exist today... and can occur in many different situations and with many different symptoms including...

  • fear of public speaking
  • interview situations
  • a fear of talking on the telephone
  • blushing
  • stuttering/stammering
  • lack of confidence
  • certain sexual inhibitions- due to performance anxiety
  • repeated failing of driving test -due to performance anxiety
  • feeling embarassed if put 'on the spot'
  • hot flushes
  • fear of eating out in public place or in front of other people
  • a persistant fear of failure
  • feelings of inferiority towards others, not being good enough
  • shy bladder in mainly men (paruresis)

 

The D.S.M. 1V (1994) Diagnostic and Statistical Manual- (the 'mental health bible') used by the psychiatric profession describes social phobia as:" A marked & persistent fear of one or more social or performance situations in which the person is exposed to unfamiliar people or to possible scrutiny by others.  The individual fears that he or she will act in a way (or show anxiety symptoms) that will be humiliating or embarassing."

 

In a 'nutshell' social anxiety, social phobia  is basically, in any situation in your life where you may feel embarassed, judged, on the spot, silly or out of control etc....
