Social phobia is a disorder characterized by overwhelming anxiety and excessive self-consciousness in social situations. People with social phobia have a persistent, intense, and chronic fear of being scrutinized by others, and of being embarrassed or humiliated by their own actions. Although it is common for many people to experience some anxiety before or during a public appearance, anxiety levels in people with social phobia can become so high that they begin to avoid social situations. In addition, they often worry for days or weeks in advance of a dreaded situation. While many people with social phobia recognize that the fear may be excessive or unreasonable, they are unable to overcome it. Social phobia can be limited to only one type of situation (such as fear of speaking in formal or informal situations, or eating, drinking or writing in front of others) or, in its most severe form, may be so broad that a person experiences phobic symptoms in any social setting. Social phobia can be very debilitating – people with this illness often avoid forming or maintaining close relationships or they turn down chances to advance their careers. Some even become housebound. Physical symptoms often accompany the intense anxiety of social phobia. People with social phobia experience symptoms that include blushing, profuse sweating, trembling and other symptoms of anxiety, such as difficulty talking, or nausea or other stomach discomfort. These visible symptoms may also heighten the fear of disapproval in social settings, and the symptoms themselves can become an additional focus of fear, creating a vicious cycle.
