You may be shy with new people, but fine withold friends. You may do well at work, but dread parties. You may not even identify your anxiety associal. It may just feel like "free floating anxiety." But you notice that it feels better when you arealone or with someone you feel close to. In some cases, the anxiety can become so intense that itcauses panic attacks. People with severe or chronic symptoms may be diagnosed with SocialPhobia or Avoidant Personality Disorder. However, the majority of people with social anxiety havedistress that, while uncomfortable, is not that severe.Social Anxiety at WorkSocial Anxiety can limit your ability to be successful at work. This is especially true in careers thatrequire giving presentations or "selling yourself." And getting a job can be particularly painfulbecause of the interview process.Social Anxiety and RomanceDating and social situations are another area that can cause great discomfort for those with socialanxiety. The fear of looking silly, dumb, embarrassed or boring can makes shy people veryuncomfortable. When other people sense that discomfort, they back away - reinforcing whatevernegative beliefs the shy person has about him/herself.Social Anxiety and AddictionA large percentage of people struggling with addictions have social anxiety as an underlying issue.Often, the drinking or drug use begins as a way to feel more relaxed in social situations. And then,because it works, people continue using substances to cope with the anxiety. After a while,addiction takes hold, and the problem becomes recovery. So many recovering alcoholics andaddicts find that once they are sober, "all these feelings" come up. And they dont know how tomanage them.A lot of addictions are hidden. Some people eat compulsively to numb their anxiety. Some spendhours watching TV or playing computer games. Some people work excessively. Others exercisefanatically. These are not true addictions in that there is no physiological dependence on asubstance. But the behaviors still serve to distract and numb anxiety as well as to avoid situationswhich may heighten discomfort.Social Anxiety and Depression

People with social anxiety often avoid situations that are uncomfortable. As a result, they may feellonely, inadequate or like they are failing to reach their goals. When these feelings accumulateover time, depression and low self-esteem can result.What causes social anxiety?Research tells us that social anxiety runs in families and may have a biological component. Mostclients I work with describe having one or both parents who are overly critical, judgmental orperfectionistic. It appears that as children, we internalize our parents judgment and then try tohide or compensate for the traits we perceive as "flawed."==== ====Help for your Social Anxiety:http://982efqyobeuaqad3rb6hw7qb7q.hop.clickbank.net/==== ====
