Chapters Introduction: 0:00 - 1:53 Part 1: What is social anxiety? 1:53 - 5:11 Part 2: Why do we develop this social anxiety? 5:11 - 7:32 Part 3: What are the symptoms to identify it? 7:32 - 13:52 Part 4: Resolutions: 13:52 - 18:20 Hippocrates, the father of our modern medicine, already spoke of social anxiety as a pathology. He tells us, I quote: “Because of his shyness, his suspicious and timid character, the person will like to live in the shadows and will not be able to stand the light or sit in broad daylight; his hat always hiding his gaze, this person will not be able to be seen despite his good intentions. He will not dare to go in company for fear of being abused, ridiculed, overwhelmed by his gestures or words, of appearing ill, he then thinks that everyone is observing him” This is how the first writings on what we call the very shy appeared. However, social anxiety is much more than shyness. Social anxiety, also called social phobia, is the fear or even avoidance of certain social situations such as a meeting, a gathering or even exposure to any form of observation. Your anxiety pushes you to feel many worries in anticipation of any future event or exposure. This social anxiety is defined by the persistent fear of these situations in which you are likely to be observed or judged. You are afraid of being embarrassed or humiliated. According to the DSM, the diagnostic manual used by health professionals, there are two types of social anxiety, I will present them to you so that you can more easily distinguish them and thus situate yourself: The first is: Generalized social anxiety, which pushes you to avoid all social situations and in all their forms. This could be a meeting, a dinner at a restaurant, a phone call to a stranger or even difficulty speaking with a person of authority such as a police officer or a teacher. The second type: this is a so-called non-generalized social anxiety, which is an anxiety that invades you in certain specific situations such as a presentation in front of your colleagues, a performance on stage or even a job interview.
