Social anxiety results in excessive worrying and unreasonable fear about gatherings, social interactions, or performance-related situations. Socially anxious individuals experience negative thought processes like others will evaluate, judge, criticize, or reject them in all life situations. They feel apprehensive about unfamiliar conditions or persons. Also, they are always bothered about doing something embarrassing or humiliating in front of others. The extreme form of such experiences may endanger someone getting the diagnosis of social anxiety disorder.
