What Is Social Anxiety Disorder?
7. Risk Factors
Not knowing much about what causes the condition also makes it difficult for us to tell who is most at risk. However, we do know that some people are statistically more prone than others. These include people who have a physical appearance that will make them self-conscious.
People who have had traumatic experiences are also more prone. These include people who have suffered from abuse, and those who have been bullied at school or elsewhere. People with a naturally timid personality are also more prone, and people are also more prone if there is a history of the condition in their family.
