What Is Social Anxiety Disorder?
4. Emotional Symptoms
Patients with social anxiety disorder will also show symptoms when they are not in a social situation. Even the thought of being in social situations and doing something to embarrass their selves can make the patient very anxious. They can also spend a lot of time thinking about recent events, trying to evaluate everything they did to look for errors.
The condition will also cause some patients to feel anxious that other people might notice their anxiousness. This can include concern over people noticing they blush, sweat, or speak with a nervous voice. They will also often expect the worst possible outcomes from any upcoming events.
