Have you seen someone otherwise confident and happy but getting upset at the thought of any social exposure and thus avoiding it altogether? If so, such people suffer from a mental condition known as social anxiety or social phobia.
If you suffer from social anxiety, you find it hard to mingle in social situations, keep your circle very limited and avoid telling your side of the story. This is because you fear getting misjudged by others. The viewpoints and opinions of others (sometimes intruding and hurtful!) scare you. The mere thought of being there with people or on stage makes you anxious and you feel palpitations, dizziness, stammering, and trembling too along with a lot of mental pressure and agitation. Such symptoms make it almost impossible for you to speak or communicate. Thus, avoiding such occasions becomes the ultimate source of rescue for you.
