About This Quote
According to psychologists, people tend to develop social phobia when they are afraid of being judged by other people. Therefore, they tend to avoid social situations and put their guard up. However, this is not good for the individual, because the individual is missing out on his/her natural instincts. By being stuck in the box of being socially active, people are actually harming themselves.
