Walking into a room feels like walking onto a stage. Every conversation is a performance where you might say something stupid. You replay social interactions for days, cringing at things you said or didn't say. You've become an expert at excuses to avoid gatherings.

The fear of judgment is paralyzing. You assume everyone notices your shaking hands, your red face, your awkward silence. You're convinced they think you're weird, boring, stupid. So you hide. Cancel plans. Eat lunch alone. Turn down invitations. Your world is getting lonelier while your fear of people grows stronger.

Social anxiety isn't about people - it's about perceived judgment

Your brain has learned to see social situations as threats. Every interaction becomes a test you might fail. But here's the truth: most people are too worried about themselves to judge you as harshly as you imagine.

• Understanding why your brain fears judgment

• Reducing physical symptoms of social anxiety

• Building genuine confidence (not fake it)
