Relationships

Social Anxiety Disorder can affect many relationships in your life whether it be family, friends or your boyfriend/girlfriend. The reason social anxiety affects these relationships is because not only are you afraid of social interactions but you also choose to avoid them instead of facing them. People with social anxiety would rather stay indoors then having to face the world. Now you can't blame us for being afraid its not that we don't want to go out and have fun but just like any phobia we get extremely anxious to the point of feeling faint. You wonder why they can face there fear one day and go outside and then on another occasion they can't, well let me explain when people are afraid of spiders and choose to try to face there fear and go near or even touch a spider just to get rid of the fear, but that doesn't mean that they will go near one ever again maybe in time similar with social phobia. You can face it one day and then maybe the next you can't. Also there are many stages where you feel more scared then other times. So next time try to understand instead of judging because that will just increase the persons phobia.
