I was hoping some of you who're suffering with Social Anxiety could tell me what it is, exactly.

Is it debilitating shyness? Or extreme fear? Or is it when you get a lot of Anxiety when you're in social situations? Are you usually anxious in front of people you just met/don't know personally? Or people who're your friends/family?

Would you call it a phobia?

I hope you guys don't mind sharing! Thank you so much.
