Do you ever feel like the man in the corner? If you have social anxiety, maybe you often would. 

This video is from The Anxiety and Depression Association of America, (ADDA)  an award winning site with scientific research.



This video talks about the effects of anxiety and what it is. Social anxiety is "the intense fear of being judged." What this means is they are scared in normal situations because they think others are going to laugh or make fun of him or her. Social anxiety is a disabling disorder characterized by overwhelming anxiety and extreme self consciousness in their everyday life. When people suffer from anxiety they feel powerless. Not only does anxiety effect you the effects of it effect your life.

    Anxiety can completely alter your life. One way that it might alter it is by becoming too scare to be in situations with a lot of people so you have fewer friendships. When you start to isolate yourself from others it becomes harder and harder to cure your depression. Some things that come with anxiety is feeling uncomfortable and or being scared when around others. You need to be careful with anxiety because it puts you more at risk for depression or alcoholism. When you isolate yourself from others it can make you less used to social situations making it more scary when you are put in one. In the end anxiety is nothing to mess with because it can be life altering.
