Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

People with social anxiety disorder fear that others will scrutinize their behavior and judge them negatively. They often do not speak up in crowds out of fear of embarrassment. They go to great lengths to avoid feared situations. If avoidance is not possible, they suffer through the situation with visible anxiety. People with social anxiety disorder seem to be highly sensitive to disapproval or criticism, tend to evaluate themselves negatively, have poor self-esteem, and have a distorted view of their personal strengths and weaknesses. They may magnify their personal flaws and underrate their talents.
