It's not surprising, given the established history between shyness and anxiety. When it comes to social anxiety in particular, feelings of anxiety and worry about being around others can eventually translate into feeling down in general. If you are just starting to learn about Social Anxiety this is a great place to start.

Upon reading this article of Weiner IB about the Brief History of Social Anxiety Disorder. I learned a very important thing that is even in ancient times shyness and social anxiety can be developed. As today many doctors made and tried to create a cure for these kind of illness. These illness may not be physical but it is emotional and mental sickness. The time tells us today that every thing can be cured even if it's already in our personality and characteristics.

It is important for us to study the history of social anxiety for us to know how to make solutions for its disorder and lead us to improve ourselves in present to future. Sometimes we don't look back and we keep moving forward but it's all too wrong. We need to look back in order for us not to do the same mistakes again and move forward to encounter the new challenges that comes ahead. That's the real essence of living your life to the fullest. The history of social anxiety tells us even in the ancient time our ancestors also feels what we feel to today well of course they're humans like us. At some cases in the early 20th century we are now trying to make solutions to our own problems and up to now we are still finding the easiest and fastest way to get rid of shyness and social anxiety.
