Social anxiety is a severe form of shyness and it's much worse. It's crippling of a person's confidence. It can also ruin relationships and cause further misery. Other people don't understand when someone suffers this mental illness, but they judge them as "weird". People with social anxiety are told not to worry about it as everything they fear is imaginary. Well that is easy to say but hard for the sufferer to believe it. They need to be given healing.
There is much more help and advice on social anxiety now than there ever was years ago. People recommend CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, which are techniques and ways of dealing with social anxiety. There are lots of self help books and videos on CBT. Other forms of help is talking therapy, counselling and relaxation. Seeking advice on the internet can also work wonders because there are tons of helpful replies on internet forums, communities and groups.
Social anxiety could get worse and may cause other illnesses, including depression, avoidance personality disorder and agoraphobia. Find someone to talk to. Get proper guidance and treatment. Believe in yourself as a good person and remind yourself that you're not alone. Speak to your GP, tutor, family member, friend and/or counsellor. Tell them how social anxiety is making you feel. Getting words out in the open is another way of communicating about your social anxiety.
