what precisely is social anxiety? In essence, it is a fear of social situations and interacting with people. What sets it off is the anxiety that comes with an idea of being negatively judged...........

What you all think how to deal with social fear and phobia?

Hi there, I have heard that the person who is suffering from social anxiety don't like to make friends and he like to be lonely.

Yes you are correct

Social Anxiety Disorder, also known as social phobia, is a mental health condition characterized by an intense and persistent fear of social situations. People with social anxiety disorder often experience excessive self-consciousness, fear of judgment, and an overwhelming desire to avoid social interactions. These individuals may fear situations such as public speaking, meeting new people, attending social events, or even everyday activities like eating in public or using public restrooms.
Treatments are available for a variety of mental health issues, including social anxiety, bipole disorder, T

Having social anxiety does not mean a person doesn't want to make friends: it means they have fears. They are two separate things.

I know people who have social anxiety who love having their friends and making new friends. Yes: they are lonely, but they still want others to like them and be friendly.
