I get the questions: "How do I know if I have social anxiety?" or "What is the difference between shyness and social anxiety?" a lot. In this video I'm talking you through social anxiety versus shyness. The first part in social anxiety support is understanding what social anxiety is. And how it differs from someone who is shy or introverted. In this video I'll talk you through the difference between social anxiety, introversion and shyness, then provide a quiz so you can figure out what you struggle with, then offer social anxiety helpful tips.

I'm Kati Morton, a licensed therapist making Mental Health videos!
