Hello again, I just wanted to add that many people with social anxiety disorder struggle with the idea of being diagnosed. It can feel like validating a weakness or something that's 'wrong' with you. But remember, there's nothing wrong with seeking help and taking care of your mental health. Anxiety is a common experience, and there are many evidence-based treatments available to help you manage your symptoms. Regards, Admin
