whats the difference?

[liveevil]

anyone want to clarify for me the differences between SA and shyness. i always thought shyness was a result of SA

Shyness is just where you are afriad to talk to people, but social anxiety is a disorder where you experience a huge amount of anxiety in social situations.

 

[liveevil]

right...so shyness is just a result of SA?

No, I think you got it backwards. Social Anxiety is a result of shyness, if you dont do something about it. So warlock is right, Shyness is not so much, while Anxiety is extreme.
