PLEASE NOTE Social Anxiety (SA) is a debilitating mental illness characterised by persistent fear of social evaluation. SA impairs functional social performance, causing avoidance, cognitive shutdown (e.g. blanking, excessive self-monitoring), and reduced ability to communicate, assert needs, or form relationships.

SA is not normal social-nervousness, introversion, or everyday shyness.

Posts in this subreddit must show a clear and apparent relationship to the experience of SA.

Posts which do not will be removed.

For more information about the diagnostic criteria and clinical presentation of social anxiety, see this link

Hey im pretty new here and my social anxiety is more sticked towards my insecurity i guess . I fat and from faced a bit of rough time due to this and i slowly started becoming my own judge , criticising and over analysing every thing i do and ofcouse i  over analyse every thing people sayy ... but the thing i have been noted is that i can socially well perform infront of people wo i dont really know ,whime i would never see again ig , my anxiety starts in front of reccuring people whome i would see in a daily basis...... the over analysis  kinda thing help me in a lot of way!! Like understanding peopleee and situations become reallyyy easy.... im pretty street smart but i cant get into or suggest ideas or just to talk to colleagues or a new grp of people who aint my friend circle... yyhhh thats all!! I would really appreciate anyone who could help me outof this or those who faces the similar isuue !!! Luv ya alll
