What causes social phobia?

Social phobia, also known as social anxiety disorder, refers to patients' fear of doing things in front of others or engaging in social activities in public places, resulting in abnormal degree of fear, anxiety and avoidance of new environment or strangers. The formation of social fear is related to many factors, such as growth experience, genetic factors, physiological factors, personality factors, family environment and so on. ?

1. Growth experience. People with left-behind experience have serious social anxiety and strong sense of defects, which is significantly higher than those without left-behind experience. The severity of adolescent social phobia is related to childhood abuse, emotional abuse and emotional neglect. The higher the severity of childhood abuse, the more serious emotional abuse and emotional neglect. Individuals who have a strong sense of loneliness and defects in their early years and have been abused have a higher incidence of social phobia. 2. Genetic factors. 20 17 Scientists from the University of Bonn, Germany, discovered some genetic reasons behind the inheritance of social fear, and confirmed the conclusion that social fear is related to genetic factors. ? 3. Physiological factors. Appearance, height, physical defects and other reasons may lead to psychological inferiority, social anxiety and avoidance. Girls pay more attention to their appearance. If their figure, skin color and height are too far from their expectations, they will not accept themselves enough and feel inferior. For boys and girls with physical defects such as stuttering and disability, it is easy to cause social fear. Such people tend to avoid many occasions and reduce others' attention to themselves. In the long run, they will develop into social phobia.

4. Personality factors. People with social phobia have some personality defects, such as introversion, shyness, sensitivity and nervousness. People with this personality often encounter social problems in their lives. ? People who are introverted and emotionally unstable are also prone to show social fear. 5. Family reasons. Not having a harmonious family may lead to social phobia. Family education has a certain influence on children's interpersonal skills. Too protective or too authoritarian may lead to children's lack of social training. Democratic family upbringing has a positive influence on the establishment of children's communicative ability.
