social anxieties

Social anxieties are feelings of intense worry or fear related to social situations, such as meeting new people, speaking in public, or being judged. They stem from a concern about negative evaluation, embarrassment, or rejection, leading to physical symptoms like sweating or rapid heartbeat. These anxieties can make social interactions stressful and may interfere with daily life, but they are manageable with understanding, support, and sometimes professional help. Recognizing these feelings as common reactions can help individuals develop strategies to cope and build confidence in social settings.
