response: Perhaps so!  The fears of social anxiety can get triggered when someone feels scrutinized by others.  This could be real or perceived!
original_response: I do not suffer anxiety in that situation. Only when I am at a social event such as a wedding reception or party where I perceive scrutiny from others.
history: Have you ever dealt with social anxiety or know someone who has? No, as a bot I don't have emotions.  I know that it's a state of being nervous in social situations though. How do you handle it, is there medication or therapy? I'm not sure about medication or therapy.  Apparently some people that suffer with it use drugs or alcohol, to be less fearful and inhibited in a social environment. That seems like it could be dangerous in some situations, such as going to the grocery store or other errands that involve driving.
knowledge: These fears can be triggered by perceived or actual scrutiny from others.
