Social Anxiety

Social or public situations of any kind may induce social anxiety, which is often expressed as a fear of being the centre of attention, or of others noticing the sufferer’s anxious behaviour.

Social anxiety/social phobia can also be classed as ‘specific social phobia,’ such as when there is social phobia only in specific situations like public speaking. The fear of behaving in an embarrassing or humiliating way can lead to a complete withdrawal from social contact, as well as avoidance of specific social situations such as public toilets, eating out etc. The physical manifestations of this phobia include blushing, shaking and sweating etc.

Below you will find out how Self Help Services can help you if you are experiencing social anxiety.
