What makes someone shy?
Is there a difference between shyness and social anxiety?
Yes, while they may have some similarities, shyness and social anxiety are distinct conditions. Shyness tends to be a more mild form of social discomfort, while social anxiety involves intense fear and avoidance of social situations that can significantly impact daily functioning. Social anxiety disorder is a diagnosable mental health condition that may require treatment from a medical professional.
