Understanding and Overcoming Social Anxiety

Social anxiety, also known as social phobia, is a mental health condition characterised by an intense and persistent fear of social situations. Individuals with social anxiety often experience overwhelming anxiety and self-consciousness when faced with everyday social interactions, such as meeting new people, speaking in public, or even eating in front of others. This fear can be so debilitating that it significantly influences their daily lives, affecting their ability to form and maintain relationships, perform at work or school, and enjoy social activities.
