People who suffer with social anxiety, sometimes known as social phobia, can find situations that most of us consider everyday to be overwhelming. Different people will have different levels of anxiety in similar situations.
All anxiety disorders are not equal, different people find different things cause them to have anxiety attacks. Men will find different situations cause their anxiety disorder to come to the fore than women do.
Social anxiety attacks make people doubt themselves, someone who suffers with anxiety attacks will convince themselves that everyones eyes are on them. The fear of being noticed and even more importantly that someone will see them make a mistake often becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
In situations that cause fear, people who have social anxiety disorder will feel intense anxiety. The anxiety they feel may lead to trembling, pounding heart, blushing, nausea, and sweating. For many having this anxiety will turn into a panic attack.
Social anxiety disorders can affect your career as well as your social life, if you get nervous and anxious every time you are talking to your boss it will affect your career prospects. Some people will find that their anxiety disorder doesn’t bother them at work but only when they are out in a social situation.
When you go to pull a plaster off , the time you spend thinking about how much it will hurt seems to make you more anxious than the actual removal of the plaster itself. That is just how it feels when a social anxiety sufferer knows they will have to use a public rest room or public telephone.
If social anxiety is not recognized and treated then it takes over peoples lives, it normally starts affecting their social life first. Social anxiety keeps millions of people locked up in their own homes and the fear gets worse and worse the longer it goes on.
Just because a child is shy it does not mean that they will suffer from anxiety latter in life. Social anxiety usually starts at a early age and there unless it is treated it will make the teenage years and beyond be even more difficult than they usually are.
