Social Anxiety

People suffering from social anxiety, frequently are looked upon as being awkward, slow or perhaps even  rude. Sufferers can be bright; have vivid thoughts; have interesting ideas; and witty, however their personality remains buried.  The thought of actually speaking their thoughts and feelings creates such self doubt and harsh judgments. This creates such panic that the sufferer shuts down and retreats back into their lonely world. Cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness can help free up this cycle of strong self doubt.
