What’s the difference between shyness and social anxiety?

Answer #1

Dear mh2m, We typically say that shy people lack confidence as where people who suffer with anxiety are fearful and tend to worry. Both are very different. Sue…good luck

Answer #2

Shyness is a form of social anxiety… but if you mean the difference between shyness and social anxiety disorder (social phobia) I think it’s in degree and maybe how disruptive it is to life?
