The social tools in modern society are more and more developed, and the communication between people is becoming more and more simple.

Manifestations of social phobia

Social phobia, also known as social anxiety disorder, usually occurs between the ages of 17 and 30. There is almost no difference in the incidence rate between men and women, and the onset is often sudden without obvious incentives. The main symptom is people's fear of getting tested in small areas. Once they find that others are paying attention to them, they will be unnatural, dare not look up, dare not look at others, and even feel ashamed, dare not speak in public, and dare not sit in front of the party. Therefore, avoiding socialization can lead to social isolation in extreme cases. Common fear objects are the opposite sex, a strict boss, the parents of the fiancé (wife), or an acquaintance. It may be accompanied by symptoms such as low self-evaluation, fear of criticism, and may develop symptoms such as flushing, tremors, nausea, or urgency to the point of panic attacks.

Treatment of social phobia
