Huddah Monroe has revealed she suffers from social anxiety.
She says people should not assume she is proud or arrogant just because of the fact that she rarely hangs out with people.
For people with social anxiety disorder, everyday social interactions such as weddings, meetings, or baby showers cause irrational anxiety, fear, self-consciousness, and embarrassment.
Symptoms may include
- Excessive fear of situations in which one may be judged.
- worry about embarrassment or humiliation.
- Concern about offending someone.
Some of the factors that can cause social anxiety disorder are:
- Family history: It is generally believed that anxiety disorders run in the family. However, it is not clear whether this is merely genetics, or whether it’s a behavior that the child has learned.
Past experiences: Early childhood experiences where one has been bullied in school or faced some form of humiliation may develop SAD.
Childhood traits: Children who are excessively shy or clingy may be at risk when they reach their late teenage years.
Talk therapy and antidepressants can help increase confidence and improve the ability to interact with others.
This may explain why Huddah prefers keeping most of her things private unless they are business-related, unlike her fellow socialites.
