Is it like they still come up, but it's easier to work through them?
When you're in love, do symptoms of social anxiety still show up?

For me they do.
I become very anxious about upsetting or disappointing the other person.
This translates into me avoiding saying or doing things that I'm not confident about getting right.
This, in turn, upsets the other person, because it appears to them that I don't care to do or say those things - when, in reality, I care very much, but am paralyzed by fear.
My anxiety causes the exact thing I'm trying to prevent. They get upset, and I disappoint them.

Depends on the relationship and who is involved. Love can be a very volatile thing. I know I still had some anxiety with my ex, but it was because i wanted to please her all the time. I didnt want to say something stupid. it just depends. It also matters if the other person feels the same way about you...
