What is Social Anxiety?

I’ve been feeling super anxious around people lately even simple conversations stress me out. Is this social anxiety? Just trying to understand if others go through this too.

    I think we all face some type of nervousness either around people or in new situations. Many things can cause anxiety including medical conditions nd medications just to name a few.
    Although I am not an expert, and cannot determine if what you are experiencing is social anxiety, I can say that it usually refers to a constant intense fear of interacting with others.
    You may want to reach out to your healthcare provider to determine exactly what you are experiencing and ways to overcome this.
