💬 Five Social Anxiety Categories
👀 More Than Shy
What social anxiety really is, how common it is, and why 'antisocial' completely misreads it.
🗣️ The Spotlight Effect
Nobody's watching as closely as it feels - dial down the imagined audience, the replays, and the safety behaviors.
🤝 Anxious Thoughts on Trial
Cross-examine mind reading and catastrophizing, and reach verdicts your brain can actually believe.
👂 Body on Alert
Racing heart, hot face, shaky voice - understand the alarm, breathe it down, and act with it instead of waiting it out.
⭐ Brave Steps
Why avoidance grows fear, how exposure ladders shrink it, and starter-sized steps for real conversations.
