I've been seeing a lot of people on here lumping the two together. It's supposed to be a meme but some truly do seem to believe social anxiety is just a more extreme form of introversion, which is not the case. Social anxiety is a mental disorder. Extroverts can have social anxiety too. (edited)

I'm an extrovert with social anxiety. Parties are weird.

Since we are on this topic. Performance anxiety is also not a mental disorder. It’s one of the many types of irrational fears out there that requires personal development to overcome, not medication.

It's obviously terminologies that are misunderstood and wrongly used interchangeably.

Is there something wrong with me because I don't like horror?

I feel like it's extremely popular nowadays and that I'm kinda expected to like them or at least watch horror movies. But I really don't like it, it's not that it scares me, it's that it makes me uncomfortable in a certain way and I generally find it really unpleasant.

Friendly reminder that introversion is NOT the same thing as social anxiety.
