Social phobia can make being with others a nightmare.
社交恐懼症讓身處人群成為一種惡夢。
You enter a crowded classroom. People seem to be
staring at you. You hear laughter from a group of students
in the corner. _(1)_
Instantly, your heart starts to
pound, and you
desperately want to hide.
If this experience
is familiar to you, you may have social anxiety disorder. _(2)_ For people who experience these feelings, it can be almost impossible to enjoy talking to others, being with friends, or even simply going out
in public.
Social phobia has many forms, from fear of speaking in public to feeling
uncomfortable in groups. It can cause
unpleasant physical symptoms like sweating,
blushing, difficulty breathing, and feeling sick. There are several explanations for why people have social phobia. It can
be passed down genetically from parents to children. _(3)_ The experience might leave the victim with a terrible fear of
ending up in a similar situation again.
Luckily for those who have social phobia, the condition is
treatable. _(4)_
Meditation and
relaxation exercises can also help. Most importantly, there are
techniques that can help to cure it
altogether. One of the most common methods is experiencing the uncomfortable social situations a little bit
at a time with the help of a
psychologist. _(5)_
For some, social phobia
stands in the way of a lot of
enjoyment that most people
take for granted. However, with the right treatment, social situations can be fun and
enjoyable for everyone.
