I am noticing more and more people coming forward saying they have issues with anxiety, especially social anxiety. For the longest time I felt like I was alone with this. I struggled to make friends growing up so I kept the few I had even though they treated me horribly. As I got older, my anxiety became worse and I started having panic attacks. I really felt alone.
Today, I was speaking to my mom about it and she told me a lot of people in our family have social anxiety issues. She mentioned her friend, a few co-workers, and even my own father has had issues with it.
Is it more common in America these days or are people simply speaking out about it more?
