Difference between social phobia and social anxiety

Hi there, @EnricoPiem!

Thank you for starting this interesting discussion. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been dealing with anxiety and fear, but it's honestly great that you're seeking understanding and solutions. The difference between fear and anxiety and the effects of medications like benzodiazepines on both, plus their potential side effects are all quite interesting talking points, so kudos to you for your bringing them up.

Some of our members might have missed this discussion, so I’d like to invite everyone to join in and share their thoughts.
