Description: People with social anxiety disorder fear negative criticism in social and performance situations. You fear that you will act in a way that is humiliating or embarrassing. To deal with your fear, you develop safety behaviors to eliminate the possibility of being humiliated or embarrassed. In this video I talk about how safety behaviors keep you socially anxious.
