Why do people feel this way only in public, what are some of the reasons they have develop social anxiety symptoms? The main reason people feel like this in public is because they have no confidence, they are always concerned that other people will judge them because they might say, or do some think silly.
Usually people who have no confidence have had this since a young age.
Why do people have no confidence, what causes low self esteem? They may have experienced bullying at school because they were slow, or different which lead to low self esteem, when someone has low self esteem they think they are worthless, and useless and this makes them not wanting to join the community.
So every time they venture out that is when social anxiety symptoms raise there ugly little head.
These people then choose to stay in rather then face the fear of having symptoms in public.
Usually parents have a lot to do with there children developing panic disorders due to being told all there lives that they are no good, or dumb generally just been putting them down.
Being over weight, or having a disability contribute to social anxiety symptoms as people do not want to be in public.
Do keep in mind this disorder is a mental condition it is not actually physical.
It also is not terminal, this condition has been created by you, and your own thoughts.
Your mind is a VERY powerful device after all you keep telling it you are worthless, and dumb and your are going to be afraid in public, you have trained it to make you believe it is all TRUE.
