Not everyone who has social anxiety disorder will be anxious in the same situations. Different people deal with different situations differently, so there really is no one size fits all magic pill.
We all get embarrassed once in a while, we trip over something and look around to check no one else saw, maybe we drop some food on ourselves and feel silly. These feelings are perfectly normal and most us will just move on and never give them another thought.However someone with anxiety disorder will run and rerun every moment through their mind and let the second of embarrassment turn into anxiety.
When you are entering into a new place or a new situation you may feel a tinge of nerves. The feelings that someone who has an anxiety disorder has will make your tinge of nerves seem like nothing, they may well be trembling, their heart could be pounding, they will feel sick and be sweaty.
The feeling of embarrassment that the person with social anxiety suffers from can be so severe that they stop going out into public places. Over time they spend more and more time with only family members and withdraw from their social circle more and more.
Anxiety attacks at work can have some very detrimental effects, sometimes it will as small a thing as your unhappiness with meeting in groups other times it can be as serious as your boss thinking you are incompetent due to your inability to deal with people.
Speaking in public is a common fear of people with social anxiety disorder. Other fears can be eating in restaurants, using public restrooms, and using telephones.
No one really knows why but women are more likely than men to have social anxiety disorders, some people have a theory that there are many men who suffer but never say anything and don't get treatment for it.
