Social Anxiety Diagnosis

Most people have felt some apprehension or discomfort when meeting new people or being in a situation where they’re not comfortable. These feelings tend to go away once you start a conversation with that new person or when you’ve been in that new situation for a period of time.

Everyone behaves differently in social situations. Some may be outgoing and extroverted, while others may be more reserved and quiet. There are many reasons why different people act in different ways when around others, but it can sometimes be difficult to determine when a person is just shy and when he or she is suffering from a social phobia.
