Where Does It

Come From?

Social anxiety is nothing to be embarrassed

about. Lots of people have it. It’s usually genetic.

That means it’s passed down in families. Your life

at home and with your parents can lead to social

anxiety, too.

Children who are shy might have more social

anxiety as they get older. Being bullied or having

something frightening happen sometimes leads to

social anxiety, too. No matter where it comes from,

you can learn to handle social anxiety.

The part of your brain in charge of

fear is called the amygdala, shown

here in red. The way the amygdala

works causes social anxiety.
