Do you go through the 'post mortem' after a conversation? That is thinking back to what you said and thinking how you could have done it 'better'?
Are you anxious about being anxious?
In social situations, such as going shopping, using the telephone, or when faced with meeting strangers, do you:
blush - face going red and feeling hot, sometimes called 'flushing';
sweat;
experience a rapid heart beat or 'palpitations';
tremble - it may just be shaky legs or hands;
have a dry mouth;
or your voice may quiver, you could stammer, or you could experience speech-block.
Did your anxiety's start to get serious around the age of 13-14?
If you answered 'yes' to the above; you have Social Anxiety Disorder. Welcome aboard!
