Social anxiety is a fear of being scrutinized, evaluated, and rejected.

People with social anxiety disorder (SAD) experience distressing anxiety in many different social situations.

And it gets in the way of living the life they want to live.

Social anxiety can dictate everyday choices and big life decisions—friendships, career paths, dating, school performance, day-to-day errands, etc.

People with SAD often WANT to socialize and build strong relationships, but fear gets in the way. (researchgate.net/publication/35…)

Growing up, I struggled in my relationships with other kids my age.
When I did hang out with other kids, they were often older or younger than me, additionally, my relationships were often very superficial, because, even when I wanted to, I didn’t understand how to get close to others or let people in.
For many years, as a preteen and a teenager, my best friends were our family cat and my dog, Ripley.
When I struggled to bond with others around me (even my family and caregivers) animals always were as kind to me as I was to them - like a mirror reflection back on me.

@naomiosaka dedicated her life to tennis from a young age and, upon reaching a long imagined first grand slam, she was booed in front of a crowd of many thousands. A goal of recognition lost, together with a very public rejection/disapproval

She told of #depression that followed this loss, and of intense #socialanxiety, the latter focused around press appearances and being publicly questionned: an entirely understandable experience. I have met many other top athletes who share this perception of 'doing media'
