What Is Social Anxiety Disorder?
3. Social Symptoms
Patients with social anxiety disorder can find it very uncomfortable to be around other people. In some cases, the level of discomfort experienced will cause the patient to shy away from being in social situations. This can even mean them doing what they can to avoid going to school, work, or other necessary chores.
The patient may also try and avoid eye contact where possible, and they are very unlikely to want to attend parties. They will often choose to remain alone where possible and avoid entering rooms where other people are. The patient will also tend to find it hard to form new relationships with people.
