Yes , whenever u r in a public place , in a social gathering if u feel anxious and feel like escaping from that place and when u have trouble in doing things like even eating when everybody’s watching you in a public place , when u have trouble if people watch you and u do not want to b the centre of attraction in a family function or party , then u might be suffering from social anxiety disorder
