Self-consciousness and anxiety arise from a fear of being judged, criticized, and closely watched by other people. A person with this condition is usually fearful of committing mistakes, looking bad, and getting embarrassed in public.

Shyness is a standard feature in some teens. But intense shyness shows a sign of possible anxiety in teens. They tend to start having conversations with people easily. If that doesn't happen, you need to take that into account. An anxious teenager can avoid talking to relatives or guests that come to your home. Behaviors such as not coming into the room where strange people sit, crying when going to school, and other social encounters are concerning signals. Shyness has been around as long as people have been around. In the early 30's for example, psychologists used the term "social neurosis" to refer to extremely shy patients. It is important to note that being shy is not always a negative thing. In China, for example, shy students are much more accepted than social students as good leaders are and they are thought to be more competent than their counterparts are. Shyness affects just about everyone at some point of time or another. It is common for teens to be shy in social situations where they do not know anyone. It is when shyness takes over the teen's life that there is a concern. When the teen avoids going to social functions entirely due to shyness. The teen that refuses to attend school dances or events due to shyness needs some encouragement. This encouragement can come from family and friends. Pairing up to attend a social function with a good friend is a great way to break out of the shyness pattern. Some teens always feel as if they are being stared at or watched. It is strongly encouraged that these teens ask themselves why they feel this way. Are they feeling like this due to how they dress or appear? If that is not why, then analyzing the reason may do well to help them step out of the shyness. Ready to get started? Click "Buy Now"!
