Everyone longs to be accepted, seen, and understood by others. We are social creatures, and to a certain degree, we all fear the experience of being socially alienated and isolated from others. Social anxiety disorder, however, can feel much more intense and debilitating than a need to be accepted. It can interfere with your relationships, the quality of your work, your career, and your quality of life. If you believe your anxiety around others is interfering with having meaningful and satisfying relationships, you might consider seeking CBT for social anxiety.
