Shyness and social anxiety share many characteristics. If you have spent your whole life feeling as though you are just a shy person, how do you know if it is something more serious? Or, if you're a worried parent, you may be wondering if your child is afraid of strangers or not making new friends at school. In either case, how do you know whether it is a serious problem? Does all people are engaged with social anxiety? Well these are some serious questions about us as an individual and our society.
When I was reading the article of Arlin Cuncic about the Shy Politicians and Celebrities with Social Anxiety. I learned that everyone can be a victim by this illness even the great people from the politics and the amazing people from the celebrities.
It might be surprising to learn that some politicians are shy. Some of the qualities of a great leader can be born out of shyness the ability to listen and motivate others to action can come from a milder temperament. At the same time, most leaders who are shy at some point learn how to overcome their insecurities in order to fulfill the social obligations of their careers. Here are some famous shy political figures.
Shy Politicians:
- Abraham Lincoln
- Bob Dole
- Eleanor Roosevelt
- Theodore Roosevelt
- Thomas Jefferson
- Ulysses S. Grant
It's also very surprising that celebrities have been struggling social anxiety and have overcome it to be able to start their careers. Celebrities with social anxiety include those who have been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder.
Celebrities with Social Anxiety Disorder:
- Donny Osmond
- Barbra Streisand
- Ricky Williams
- Zack Greinke
- Dontrelle Willis
- Khalil Greene
- Susie O'Neill
- Kim Basinger
- Sir Lawrence Olivier
These are examples of celebrities who posses shyness and social anxiety also they are just like us. We are not different as like them we also posses those traits or characteristics, still we are fond of not giving any attention to those things. Because we think it's a waste of time but it's not. We are somehow living in a society of anxiety. The reason many people don't seek help is because they don't realize that they have a recognized psychiatric condition. The primary symptoms that distinguish shyness from social anxiety are the intensity of the fear, the level of avoidance, and the impairment of functioning that it causes in a person's life.
These people has disorders but they did not give in. They move forward that made them become famous and great.
Look into my eyes!!! Do I have social anxiety? I think yes, sometimes I guess though I'm a bit shy still I always worry about being rejected and judged. But who cares I am what I am and I am me I know my identity so I don't care what people thinks about me.
People who are living in a society of anxiety are the people who always gets rejected, criticized, judged, and bullied. In those circumstances a psychological breakthrough comes to them and gets attached to their personalities. It could get worse if they don't make a solutions to get rid of it and it could also destroy them. Every single one of us have worries on our own and everyone has fears. Still we can fight through but we can't do it alone we need both hope and faith to fight, we need God to help us in the way we couldn't. Then the rest is up to us to end our hardships and struggles in both shyness and social anxiety. For us to finally leave or depart from the society of anxiety to the society of apathy.
All too frequently, anxiety crushes not only your spirit and your potential, but your ability to take care of your mind and body. ~Jonathan Davidson and Henry Dreher
