There are different points of view when it comes to the causes of social anxiety disorder. Some scientists suggest that certain individuals are more prone to the development of this condition due to their family history, genetics, and brain structure. Still, environmental factors such as negative social experiences the person was forced to deal with since they were young, such as bullying and public humiliation, as well as exposure to abuse, violence, and neglect, are considered the key contributing factors that make the person socially anxious.
You need to speak to a therapist as you start combating your disorder – they will be able to provide you with an approximate timeline of recovery.
