How can I find
out that I have SA?
There are certain behavioural patterns that you might have recognized with yourself
or maybe others thave mentioned to you which could indicate that you have SA
or a form of shyness. Obviously the strength can vary from mild to severe depending
on your personal experience and comfort.
Some of the emotional stress that someone with social anxiety would experience
would be triggered through the following situations:
- Being
watched
- Being
the center of attention
- Meeting
other people
- Being
teased or criticized
- Meetings
with authority figures
- These
are just a few examples
|
If you feel uncomfortable
in these kind of situations or have tried or try to avoid them whenever you
can, it is very likely you have a form of SA.
The physical symtoms to social anxiety may include racing heart, turning red
or blushing, excessive sweating, dry throat and mouth, trembling,intense fear,
shyness, swallowing with difficulty, and muscle twitches. It is possible that
under circumstances simply being nervous can cause some of these emotions, however,
if they occur in a pattern and on a regular basis then you are one of those
that suffer from a form of Social Anxiety.
