Social Anxiety Check-In
Social anxiety is more than shyness. It can involve strong fear of judgment, embarrassment, or being noticed in ways that make everyday interactions feel risky. This check-in looks at fear, avoidance, and physical anxiety in social situations.

Social anxiety FAQs
Is social anxiety the same as being introverted?
No. Introversion describes a preference for lower levels of social stimulation; social anxiety involves fear and distress about social evaluation.
Can social anxiety happen only in certain situations?
Yes. Some people mainly fear performance situations, while others experience anxiety across many kinds of interaction.
Why do I replay conversations afterward?
Post-event rumination is common in social anxiety and can magnify perceived mistakes.
Can social anxiety improve?
Yes. Gradual, structured practice and evidence-based treatment can make social situations much more manageable.
