Social Anxiety vs Shyness pt 1 | 3 Treatment Options for Social Anxiety Disorder |

Social Anxiety Disorder
In a world where being social is almost like a form of currency, many of us still struggle with social anxiety.
Shyness is the tendency to feel awkward, worried or tense during social encounters, especially with unfamiliar people. On the other hand, social anxiety disorder can be described as persistent, intense fear or anxiety about specific social situations. This causes us to avoid these situations because we believe we may be judged, embarrassed or humiliated, Or if we do endure these situations, it’s with intense fear or anxiety.
Some of that overlaps with shyness, but one of the key differences between shyness and SAD, is that for people with SAD, the level of avoidance, the intensity of the fear, and the impairment of functioning that it causes in someone’s life is severe. When it starts to hinder our ability to go to work or school or leave the house in general there’s even more reason to be concerned.
At the end we'll discuss 3 treatment options therapists use to manage social anxiety.
