Our expert of the portal "MOS SMI" on astrology, esotericism and psychology Elena Gutyro will tell you how to independently identify the symptoms of this disorder.
The origins of anxiety
In most cases, this psychological disorder has its roots in childhood. The person could have been constantly teased and morally abused.
Parents could be constantly dissatisfied with everything. Humiliate the child daily, accordingly, he grows up an absolute coward, afraid to express his own opinion.
Interestingly, anxiety can begin to develop even if a person simply witnesses other people being bullied.
How to understand that you are at risk
The most obvious sign that a person is prone to social anxiety is his attitude towards everyday human rituals:
- speaking in front of an audience
- lunch in a public canteen
- being in the spotlight
- parties and holidays.
If in all these cases a person loses his composure, loses his train of thought and falls into a stupor, then society frightens him and this is obvious.
How to act in such a situation

The origins of anxiety are always unique in nature and each case requires an individual approach; simple sedatives will not help in this case.
