> I think the whole anxiety thing is a faulty fear response system. The "flight or fight" response goes wacky and basically the body pumps out adrenalin inapprioately --- it's like the regulatory system isn't regulating properly. This causes all those weird "feelings" and body sensations.

> Fear is a normal and healthy part to life. Keeps us alert to possible dangers. Toxic anxiety and toxic fear is not "normal".

> Just my take.....It is just that when I said my family thatI have social anxiety , they think this is something normal. I often hear many people to say that they feel anxious . That is why I prefer to tell my family that I´m afraid to death of people, so scared of everybody . I think saying anxiety is not the same than saying fear
is Social phobia a GAD by the way??thank you for your post!
