Imagine you're at a party, and everyone is laughing and talking. You feel your face get hot, your heart beats fast, and you want to hide somewhere quiet, that's social anxiety! It feels like the whole world is watching you. Social anxiety happens when people worry too much about what others might think of them. Sometimes their brain gets confused or overexcited, making it harder for them to relax in groups.
