At its most extreme, shyness can be crippling but it is easily treated using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Social phobia is equally common in men and women and is found across different cultures. Approximately 3% of the population suffers from social phobia. A much larger percentage of the population describe themselves as shy. In addition, many people in the general population report fear associated with public speaking, and anxiety associated with other social situations, such as meeting new people, or dealing with criticism. Most of these people would not be identified as having social phobia, however, unless the fear and avoidance significantly interfered with their life. Some people with social phobia fear only a few situations where they might be the centre of attention. Others, suffering from generalised social phobia, fear many situations. If you have had generalised social phobia for most of your life, you may think that others see you as too quiet, or boring. You may avoid meeting other people, and not want to risk telling others much about yourself, in case they reject you.
