Social phobia is a fairly common anxiety disorder. It involves the fear of embarrassment or humiliation when exposed to the scrutiny of others.
Examples include fear of public speaking, fear of blushing, fear of chocking or spilling food, fear of being watched, fear of using public toilets, fear of crowds, and fear of taking exams.
These fears are somewhat normal for all of us – however, when it becomes debilitating to your daily life, it becomes a diagnosable disorder.
