An overprotective parental attitude creates social phobia
Social phobia is defined as a situation where people refrain from interacting in social environments with fears and concerns such as being criticized for wrongdoing in crowded, being humiliated, embarrassed or being unsuccessful. Psychiatrist Asst. Prof. Dr. Yasin Genc stated that there is a genetic predisposition and protective parental attitude in the formation of social phobia.
In some people, anxiety and fear behaviors experienced in situations that require their relations with society prevent social life and cause negative effects on physical and mental health. Social phobia is a condition with the highest prevalence and loss of functionality among anxiety disorders. Physical effects such as palpitations, sweating, flushing, trembling and difficulty in breathing are observed when speaking in public, making presentations or attending events such as meetings.
