🧠 What Is Social Anxiety Disorder?
Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD), also known as social phobia, is more than just shyness. It’s a persistent, intense fear of being judged, embarrassed, or rejected in everyday social or performance situations.
For someone living with SAD, normal tasks like speaking in a meeting, answering a call, or walking into a room can feel unbearable.
At Live Again India, we understand that social anxiety isn’t about avoiding people — it’s about trying to protect yourself from emotional exposure.
Therapy here is not about forcing you into the spotlight — it’s about guiding you back into safe, connected expression.
🚩 Signs of Social Anxiety Disorder
-
Fear of being watched, judged, or humiliated
-
Avoidance of social or group situations
-
Physical symptoms like blushing, sweating, shaking, or chest tightness
-
Intense pre- or post-event rumination (“What did I say wrong?”)
-
Fear of talking to strangers, public speaking, or eating in public
-
Low confidence and self-consciousness
-
Avoidance that begins affecting career, relationships, or lifestyle
These symptoms often begin in adolescence and may go unrecognized for years.
🌐 How It Affects Life
Social anxiety can silently shape how you:
-
Choose your job or avoid leadership roles
-
Maintain relationships or avoid intimacy
-
Speak your truth or stay silent
-
Experience loneliness despite wanting connection
The American Psychological Association recognizes SAD as one of the most common anxiety disorders — yet one of the least openly discussed.
