social anxiety, isolation & loneliness
Social gatherings, dating, public speaking, performing and other social situations can often illicit huge fear, at times causing an overwhelming physical and emotional response. Many young people try to manage these often scary and embarrassing feelings by avoiding situations. Avoidance in the longer term can actually be considerably unhelpful.
