Summary

"A lot of people casually claim they have social anxiety. But what does that mean? Social anxiety is more than just being quiet or shy. It's a form of anxiety brought on by situations in which a person interacts with other people. People with social anxiety are so fearful of being judged by their peers that they may be unable to make friends or do the things they want to do. In this volume, readers learn some of the triggers of social anxiety and how they can seek help for this common condition"--
