Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tracy's fear of embarrassment and nervousness in public are classic symptoms of a social phobia, also known as social anxiety disorder. This manifests as an intense fear of social situations in which one's actions may be judged or evaluated by others, leading to avoidance of such situations. Depression, gamophobia (fear of marriage), and post-traumatic stress disorder do not match the symptoms described by Tracy.
