Men and women who are suffering from social anxiety might go to great lengths to avoid talking with strangers, avoid social settings, and sometimes even avoid leaving their homes in extraordinary cases. The person suffering from this disorder may feel anxious and could have physical symptoms (heart palpitations, excessive, difficulty breathing, or hives) whenever they are forced to interact with other people. They may feel as if others are criticising them, or thinking negatively of them, even if there's no indication that this might be true. Socially anxious people, especially women, are also more likely to experience debilitating panic attacks when challenged with an unfamiliar social situation.
Social anxiety may be the sole disorder somebody is afflicted with, but it is probable that another disorder (obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, other anxieties and fears, for instance) is very closely related and may aggravate or potentiate social phobias. Social anxiety, for the majority of people, is a childhood phase that one goes through and eventually conquers. Usually, youngsters experience social anxiety for a brief period in their preteen years, and learn through their own experiences to cope with it. For others, these coping skills aren't mastered for whatever reason and creates issues in adulthood.
Treatment for these people should be sought out before the disorder starts to interfere with personal relationships, overall happiness, and career decisions. If you suffer with social anxiety, there is help available. Everyone's situation- and level of anxiety, is different, and so are the relevant solutions. For some, exposing themselves to social encounters, or stepping outside of their "comfort zone", is the answer they've been attempting to find.
For other, more significant cases, counseling and care may have more benefits. Treatment may include exposing the socially anxious person to increasingly social scenarios and monitoring levels of stress. Other victims of this disorder may gain benefit from taking university classes where they are in a positioin to interact with others.
It is important to find help for this disorder as early as possible, so that long-term, lasting effects can be avoided. There are quite a few cures out there, you just have to do your due diligence and decide what will be best for you. Many individuals have been able to overcome social anxiety. Some have chosen professional help, some self help, and others have chosen alternative methods. Everybody is different. You need to investigate the options available and pick which one suits you the absolute best.
