Are you sure you're "Just Shy?"

You’ve been invited to a gathering in your new neighborhood. Most of your neighbors are strangers to you. As you approach the door where the party is being held, your stomach feels jittery, your breath is shallow, and you feel like bolting for your car. Do you have a case of shyness or are you a social phobic?

Nearly everyone is uneasy in situations where making a good impression is important - among new friends, at work or school, in front of an audience. If you’ve ever spoken to a group of people, you know how to be comfortable it can be to have everyone’s attention focused on you. This kind of social anxiety is normal and even healthy. For example, the fear of embarrassing yourself ensures you thoroughly prepare your speech. Once you start talking, your fears, generally ease, and the next time you give a talk, you’re not so frightened.

Some people with social phobias experience fear only in certain settings. For instance, someone is afraid of eating in public. As long as they stay away from these situations, they are fine. At the extreme end of the social phobic spectrum, however, are what health experts call “avoidant personality disorders.” To avoid feeling unsafe and insecure, these individuals do not form any close relationships.

Furthermore, health experts suggest that a jittery stomach, fluttering heart, sweaty palms, and shortness of breath related to social phobias may be an inherited trait. In addition to professional help, if you have a social phobia or are just socially a little shy, try these strategies to help yourself. It does works on me.
