Social anxiety is a mental health condition characterized by an overwhelming fear of social situations. For those who struggle with social anxiety, everyday activities like meeting or speaking with people are persistently accompanied by intense worry. Social anxiety causes distress and can seriously impact daily life and relationships, as people tend to avoid or escape their feared social situations. Social anxiety can also involve the physical symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks.
People with social anxiety may be hesitant to seek help, given the social interaction required in therapy. However, therapy is a powerful tool for overcoming social anxiety. First, behavioral specialists typically help people develop strategies for anxiety management. Then, techniques, such as systematic desensitization or exposure therapy may be used to help clients gradually become less uncomfortable with anxiety and more comfortable in situations that previously triggered social anxiety.
