Hello dear community, happy Friday 😊🌞💕
I hope you've had a good week.
I wanted to share this nice and detailed article about the differences between generalized and social anxiety disorder. There are a few important differences, but the psychological underpinnings are kind of subtle.

For example:
Social worries are not uncommon in those with GAD. However, their focus tends to be about ongoing relationships rather than on fear of evaluation.
People with social anxiety disorder, on the other hand, tend to worry about meeting new people, being observed, and performing in front of others (for example, speaking up in class or playing an instrument in a band). Their thought content typically centers on negative evaluation and possibly rejection.
I hope you find this helpful. Feel free to share anything that you are reading and learning from below too :)
Hope you have a good weekend ahead 😊🧡
Warm wishes,
Sofie
