If you're wondering whether you might have Social Anxiety Disorder, there's some key signs to look out for. 

For example, in the lead up to a social event, you might notice intense persistent thoughts creeping in. You might be worried like, "Maybe I won't fit in," "People might judge me," or, "I might do something embarrassing," which might give you a strong urge to avoid the situation altogether. 

During socialising, you might notice some strong physical symptoms like a racing heart, sweating, feeling nauseous, dizziness, or even shortness of breath. 

You might also find yourself ruminating after a social situation. This is when you replay the interaction in your mind over and over worrying about how you acted or what others might have thought. 

If these experiences sound familiar and are impacting your day-to-day life, it could be a sign of Social Anxiety Disorder.
