Introduction:
Social Phobia – This anxiety disorder is characterised by an intense fear of social situations where strangers are approached or others are scrutinised. It is this fear that causes people with social anxiety to actively reduce their desire to socialise in order to avoid these situations.At the same time, people with social anxiety are concerned that the way they conduct themselves will make people think less of them.
