So, basically, not everyone knows and understand the real meaning of being an introvert and social anxiety. These two might give the same meaning generally, like.. mostly anti-social. But actually, do you know that social anxiety is far worse than being an introvert which based on research that the disorder may lead to depression and (schizophrenia?). But, before I go any further and before you guys start bashing me up by callin' me an ignorant whatsoever lemme clear one thing up first.
Firstly, I am not majoring in psychology or any related psychology field or minor in psychology or nor did I have studied about basic psychology. NO and NEVER. (maybe in the future, who knows *wink*). I am writing this up just for you guys to read as for fun or to gain something you guys never know and of course, all infos that was included are *hopefully* the facts that can be approved as valid. (Psychological books, google, real life researches and experiments by myself LOL) So, any comments or judgments are welcomed anytime, I don't mind.
A person that predominantly concerned only about their inner thoughts and doesn't like to involve with external thoughts or the environment.
The fear of social situations that involve interaction with other people. You could say that social anxiety is the fear and anxiety of being negatively judged and evaluated by other people. It is a pervasive disorder that can cause anxiety and fear.

You are more of a public introvert and private extrovert
Within your circle of family and friends, you are completely at ease and it’s often you who takes the lead to organise outings, dinners, vacations, etc. However, as soon as you are in a public or professional setting you become rather inhibited. You don’t feel in tune with what you would qualify as agitation, rivalry or vainglory and this can sometimes appear to others as a kind of hidden criticism or a lack of ambition. In fact, your pragmatic temperament helps you successfully manage problems as and when they arise. You aren’t the kind to calculate your every move and plan every inch of your life, and you find the sphere of family and friends to be much more gratifying to the professional sphere. You are more expressive in emotional, sensorial and human terms and at home your organisation skills and capacity to oil the family wheels work well and many of your family and friends appreciate your qualities and skills. At first glance, people find it hard to understand how you could be so comfortable organising your private life and then seem to lose the better part of your self-confidence when you’re in public. Maybe it’s a question of rhythm? If you feel comfortable in your domestic rhythm it’s perhaps because it works more on a short-term basis (day, week or more rarely a month). On the contrary, the rhythm of professional life seems less concrete and more distant as the professional agenda works more to quarterly or annual plans, that you have no control over. Is this the source of your lessened motivation? You can’t control all the cards so you have to adapt and, in fact, that doesn’t interest you at all? If this difference between work and home life doesn’t bother you, then carry on. However, if you feel frustrated by this imbalance, it could be useful to look into the deeper reasons (either on your own or with someone else) that keep you less focused on professional ambition. For instance, such reasons could be: a lack of thanks and recognition, a fear of not being up to the mark… It’s up to you to find out.

Ok so, ini antara buku fav aku, karya DR Rozanizam Zakaria. Beliau adalah seorang Pegawai Perubatan Sarjana Psikiatri, HUSM. Hebat kan? Sambil-sambil bantu pesakit, buat novel untuk dijadikan pengajaran. Apa yang menariknya buku ni adalah satu hasil gabungan kisah-kisah benar daripada refleksi wad sakit jiwa, dan pengalaman Dr tu sendiri berjumpa dengan pesakit.
