Social anxiety disorder, or social phobia, is characterized by excessive anxiety and self-consciousness in common social situations. Sufferers of this disorder worry intensely that they are being watched and/or judged by others and are fearful that they will be humiliated or embarrassed by their own behaviour. Social anxiety is particularly prevalent during times such as the holiday season when more social gatherings and events take place, some of which are unavoidable.
