What is social anxiety?

At the New York Center for Integrative Health, our Manhattan, New York area doctors describe social anxiety as a disproportionate fear of social situations. It is a form of extreme shyness and can cause intense feelings of self-consciousness, such as worrying about what others think or being embarrassed in front of people.
