Social Avoidance and Distress Check | Social Anxiety Reflection FAQ
What is social avoidance?
Social avoidance means staying away from social or performance situations because they feel threatening, exhausting, or embarrassing.
Is social avoidance the same as introversion?
No. Introversion is an energy preference; avoidance is usually driven by fear, distress, or anticipated judgment.
When should I seek help?
Consider support when avoidance limits school, work, relationships, daily tasks, or wellbeing.
