Ludwig Wittgenstein
Are you one of the millions who suffer from Social Anxiety?
Definitions
Anxiety – An internal response to a perceived threat to our well-being. It is a combination of 4 things: Unidentified anger, hurt, fear, and self-pity. We expect rejection and humiliation and actually start to anticipate it.
Social – Spending time in the company of others talking and/or doing activities together.
Social Anxiety – Dreading, fearing, and/or expecting to be rejected and/or humiliated by others in social settings.
- A feeling of discomfort, fear, dread, or worry that is centered on our interactions with other people.
- Fear of being judged negatively by others.
- Fear of being evaluated negatively by others.
- Fear of being less than and, thus, looked down upon by others.
It’s normal to feel nervous in some social situations. Going on a first date or giving an important speech may cause some anxiety. It would be “normal” to be nervous and/or anxious. Social anxiety is the irrational, exaggerated, over-the-top apprehension, fear, self-consciousness, and awkwardness when interacting with other people.
