It’s common to get a bit anxious before a big event, but someone with social phobia gets extremely nervous about a job interview, reunion or giving a speech.

The American Academy of Family Physicians says possible symptoms of social phobia include:

• Being very afraid of judgment or embarrassment in front of others.
• Feeling that all others are more capable and confident than you are.
• Blushing and sweating when faced with a social situation.
• Feeling nauseous, shaking or trembling before or during a social situation.
• Having a hard time speaking or making eye contact with others.
• Continuing to worry after an event about what people thought.
