Social Anxiety Disorder is used to describe situations that disrupt the functionality of daily life. Shyness, on the other hand, does not pose a problem if it does not prevent someone from engaging in social environments or managing their tasks independently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Social Anxiety the same as shyness or introversion?
What is the most noticeable characteristic of people with social phobia?
The most noticeable characteristic of people with social phobia is their difficulty in making eye contact and asking for things in places where there are people. They often feel more secure by thinking about completing tasks with someone by their side, as it helps them feel safer and more comfortable.
I enter social environments, but I cannot give presentations, especially in large groups. Am I socially phobic?
No, experiencing difficulty with social performance, such as giving presentations, does not necessarily mean you have social phobia. Social anxiety disorder refers to an inability to engage in any kind of social situation, not just difficulty with specific activities like presentations.
