It's natural to feel embarrassed, nervous, or shy in front of others at moments. Most people get into these moments when they need to. But for some, the anxiety that goes with feeling shy or self-conscious can be extreme. When people feel so self-conscious and anxious that it prevents them from speaking up or socializing most of the time, it's more than shyness. It may be an anxiety condition called social phobia (also called social anxiety).

Family or friends are especially important for people who are dealing with social phobia. The right support from a few key people can help those with social phobia gather the courage to go outside their comfort zone and try something new..
