According to a recent study, the number one cause of anxiety is social anxiety. Social anxiety can come in many forms such as shyness, self-consciousness and introversion. Social anxiety can be as simple as shyness at a party or being too self-conscious to make eye contact with someone you're interested in dating. Social phobias are harder to manage because there is no avoiding them. It doesn't happen when you're around other people, it only happens when you face them head on and that means that social phobias are never cured like other disorders can be - they will always stay with you for life.
