Quizplus · Accepted Answer

People with social anxiety disorder have a fear of embarrassment or being judged negatively by others, leading them to avoid social situations or endure them with high levels of distress. Agoraphobia, specific phobia, and interactive phobia are all different types of anxiety disorders that involve fear or avoidance of specific situations or stimuli, but they do not necessarily involve fear of evaluation or scrutiny by others.
