A mental disorder that stops people from living the lives that they had always dreamed of. Everyday when you step foot outside of your house, it's like constant anxiousness, and you can't really do anything. It's horrible, and I wouldn't wish it on anybody. It can get so bad that people can't leave their houses becuase it's not worth it. You'll never understand what it's like, unless you have it yourself. A lot of people think that it's people overreacting and being shy, but they really have no clue. This disorder often comes with other disorders, like depression, bipolar, etc. This disorder can be treated successfully (I think/hope...), but people with social anxiety are too scared or embarassed to ask for help. I think that many people get misdiagnosed when they do ask for help. So many people turn to drugs or alcohol to help them find relief. People with S.A.D. are misunderstood and I get in trouble becuase I don't talk loud enough and don't do homework assignments (like book reports) so that I don't have to do oral presentations. I can't leave my house by myself. And a really miserable part of any anxiety disorder is panic attacks which cause people with the disorder to think they're dying or going crazy.
