You might suffer from Social Anxiety Disorder. Social Anxiety Disorder affects around “15 million adults in the United States, and its symptoms can be more subtle than you might think.” Many people with this disorder learn how to cope with the social discomfort because there are aspects of the social interaction that they enjoy, but there are other people that cannot handle the anxiety.
“People with social anxiety disorder feel an overwhelming level of anxiety as well as self-consciousness in certain or even all social settings; they are often convinced that all eyes are on them, watching and waiting for them to make a mistake. Their anxiety about an upcoming event can start weeks in advance. Like certain other forms of anxiety disorder, physical symptoms can show up as well.

The cause of anxiety is unknown, but doctors believe genetics or being extremely protected throughout childhood and adolescence can cause it. Using a combination of therapy and medication can help you manage your social anxiety.
