Social Phobia in all: 

Social Phobia is something we either inherit by genetics or just by quinidine. Social Phobia can contribute to fighting, flight, or freeze. The sympathetic nervous system controls your fight, flight or freeze. It mainly happens when you’re nervous and it’s harder to calm down if you have Social Phobia. You're not alone in any way, seek preretinal help if it’s getting worse so you can find techniques.
