This fear of embarrassment or humiliation causes these individuals to either avoid those situations altogether, or suffer extreme anxiety as they endure them.Their lives can be further complicated by anticipatory fear of upcoming social encounters.As socially anxious individuals anticipate or become involved in social encounters, they experience an increase in troublesome physical symptoms which may include heart palpitations, trembling, sweating, and flushing or blushing.These indicators of anxiety may often repeat in an uncomfortable cycle that is difficult to control.In addition, social anxiety sufferers worry that their anxiety or awkwardness will become even more obvious, and this, in turn, leads to feelings of shame as well as further embarrassment and humiliation.*This information has been adapted from [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
