Social anxiety is a persistent fear of being judged, embarrassed, or negatively evaluated in social or performance situations. It can interfere with work, relationships, and everyday activities, such as speaking up in meetings, making phone calls, or attending social events. Many people avoid situations altogether, which can lead to isolation and missed opportunities. People with social anxiety often worry intensely about how they appear to others, which can cause physical symptoms such as sweating, a racing heart, shaking, or difficulty speaking.

With the right support and coping strategies, social anxiety is manageable, and confidence can be rebuilt.

Social anxiety is a feeling no one wants to have. It affects your everyday life and everything in your life.
