What is social phobia?

Question

Just intrigued, thats all. x

Can you have it, and its really bad, and someone else could have it, but isnt as bad as you?

Or is it, yes you have it, or no you dont?

Answer 1

Social phobia is also typically called social anxiety disorder.  It means simple that you are extremely uncomfortable being out and in public typically with people you don't know, but it can also just being out in public even with your family.  Yes, it is possible to have it so bad that you can't/will not leave your house no matter what and you could also have it and your just uncomfortable being in public, but you can manage to do it if you have too. Hope that helps.

Answer 2

social phobia - an anxiety disorder in which a person has significant anxiety and discomfort related to a fear of being embarrassed, humiliated, or scorned by others in social or performance situations.

I have a mild case of it n it sucks big time =[

I guess it is a case of either having it or not having it, but if you have it, it can be either really bad or not so bad.
