Social phobia(社恐) has appeared and been discussed for many years. People with social phobia always feel unhappy and not comfortable when talking with others.
The development of the internet makes the MBTI test very popular. Many people take this test to see what they are like. According to the test, there are mainly two kinds of people—the extroverted(外向的) and the introverted(内向的). Extroverted people enjoy making friends with others, while these who are introverted like to be alone.
However, many people cannot find the differences between being introverted and social phobia. In fact, it's difficult for introverted people to become extroverted. Introverted people are not afraid of talking with others. They just like to stay alone to think more carefully. In this way, they can solve problems better.
But social phobia is very different. It is hard to change because it is a kind of mental(精神的) illness and needs a special treatment(治疗). Even those who are extroverted can have social phobia. Some people say they have social phobia in order to get their own space sometimes. But we should treat social phobia properly. Sometimes social phobia is not good for our development. Just imagine that if a student refuses to answer teachers' questions because of social phobia, he will not improve his grades and learn some useful things in the long term.
