Did you know that shyness is actually NOT a character trait but a stress response of being around others? It has to do with a lack of self-esteem and self-acceptance often tied to a history of ECEs (early childhood experiences).
Social anxiety is a condition characterized by excessive fear and self-consciousness in social situations. It can often lead to avoidance of social situations altogether, which further reinforces feelings of isolation and low self-esteem. Social anxiety can be a debilitating condition if not addressed and treated. However, with the right guidance and support, it is possible to overcome social anxiety and live a fulfilling life with healthy social interactions.
