It’s normal to feel a little uncomfortable in social situations. Socializing is challenging, and even those that seem highly confident in social situations often suffer from at least a small amount of anxiousness. For some people, however, social situations invoke a sense of severe dread or anxiety in Tampa FL, and Brandon FL. The mere thought of going to a social event can spark considerable stress.
If you find that you’re someone that has a very difficult time managing your anxiety in social situations, you may have social phobia, also known as social anxiety disorder: a highly treatable anxiety in Tampa FL, and Brandon FL, condition that triggers fear and stress when faced with social interaction.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER?

Do you find that the idea of social situations triggers some anxiety?
Do you think your social phobia has been preventing you from friendships/relationships?
Do you feel as though you’re missing out on important life experiences?
