Social anxiety is a form of anxiety that presents symptoms in social settings or interactions. In the case of someone with this type of anxiety, what might seem like a normal part of life can produce extreme distress.
Oftentimes, social anxiety can manifest itself in significant time spent worrying about upcoming interactions and beating oneself up for past interactions. The good news is, it is possible to decrease social anxiety! Some helpful practices include: mindfulness/meditation, getting curious about the root of the anxiety, focusing on what you know to be true rather than on assumptions, and exposure to anxiety-producing situations.
