One night, @Xiao Zhang, a user of simple psychology, sent a news message on WeChat asking us to read it carefully:
[21-year-old boy script killing addiction psychological problems Mom: he actually said to kill me]
One detail in the report is that the protagonist is addicted to the script killing game and says that he is a bit socially afraid.
Unfortunately, the comments are full of misunderstandings and ridicule: "How can a real social terrorist play script killing?"
Xiao Zhang did not know the boy in this news, but he saw his former self from it.
Come and listen to Xiao Zhang's confession.

1) The pathological state of "social anxiety" is called: Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). The following physical symptoms may occur at the onset of illness: rapid heartbeat, muscle tension, dizziness, stomach disease and diarrhea, breathlessness, and a feeling of "dissociation".
2) According to the American Association for Anxiety and Depression, about 15 million people in the U.S. today suffer from social anxiety disorder, with a typical age of onset of 13 years — but 36 percent of people with social phobia suffer in silence for a decade or more before getting help.
3) A typical cause of addiction is the "desire for normalcy" – the person can only deal with other problems in life by using the addiction method. Or rather, he felt that "his core problem" was inherently "unacceptable."
For example, in the American drama "The Big Bang Theory", Raj has social fear of women and alcohol addiction. Because it is only when he is drinking that Raj becomes able to communicate with the opposite sex
In a way, addiction has become a "painkiller". But the danger is that the "addiction pattern" allows the person to pour a lot of attention and trust into a substance/behavior, and instead loses the connection with the real relationship.
4) The cause of social anxiety disorder is not a single one. It may be related to genetics, to the experience of being bullied or inappropriately raised, and to the hyperactivity of the amygdala (the part of the brain that controls the fear response).
5) Social anxiety disorder can be treated. Methods include: anti-anxiety or antidepressant drugs, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychotherapy, systematic desensitization or exposure therapy, social skills counseling, etc.
