About the Symptom

Social anxiety can be the fear or anxiety in situations such as social interactions, being observed by others, or performing in front of others.

Possible Causes

Generally, Social anxiety and blushing can be related to:

Social Anxiety Disorder
This is also known as social phobia and is a mental health condition characterized by a constant fear of being watched and judged by others. It can impact work, school, and other daily activities.
Hyperkinetic Disorder
Hyperkinetic Disorder is a chronic condition characterized by attention difficulty, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. It often begins in childhood and can cause a child to have trouble in school, at home, or with friends. Causes may include genetics, head injury, exposure to environmental risks (e.g., lead) during pregnancy or at a young age, alcohol and tobacco use during pregnancy, premature delivery, and low birth weight. It is more common in male children.
Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
A condition where stomach acid flows back up the esophagus (food pipe). It can be caused or worsened by obesity, alcohol, and caffeine. Eating habits also play a role - eating large meals quickly or lying down after meals are known triggers.
