How does Social Anxiety affect your life?

Here are some ways in which social anxiety can affect an individual's life:

​

Interpersonal Relationships: Individuals may struggle to make friends, attend social gatherings, or engage in romantic relationships due to fear of judgment or rejection.

​

Academic and Career Performance: Individuals may avoid participating in class discussions, giving presentations, or networking opportunities, which can hinder academic achievement and limit career advancement.

​

Physical Health: Social anxiety can contribute to physical health problems such as muscle tension, headaches, gastrointestinal issues, and sleep disturbances. 

​

Emotional Well-being: Individuals may experience constant worry about being judged or criticized by others, leading to heightened levels of stress and emotional distress.

Impact on Daily Functioning: Social anxiety can interfere with everyday activities such as running errands, attending appointments, or making phone calls. 

​

Co-occurring Mental Health Disorders: Social anxiety often coexists with other mental health conditions such as depression, generalized anxiety disorder, or panic disorder, further complicating the treatment and management of symptoms.
