Social phobia

There is a significant difference between ordinary shyness and social anxiety

1. 01

   Fear of public speaking

   A presentation, a meeting, a toast — the thought of being seen by others triggers intense anxiety.

2. 02

   Fear of judgement

   "What will people think", "I'll look stupid" — every action is meticulously analysed in advance.

3. 03

   Physical reactions

   Blushing, sweating, trembling, shaking voice — the body does not warn but amplifies the situation.

4. 04

   Difficulties in relationships

   Starting new acquaintances, phone calls, ordering at a restaurant — all provoke anxiety.

5. 05

   Career limitations

   Reluctance to be noticed, avoiding promotion, wanting to stay invisible — blocks professional growth.

6. 06

   Social isolation

   Gradual withdrawal from social life. Loneliness does not reduce anxiety — it increases it.
