More Celebrities with Social Anxiety

One of the most important things to hear when we suffer from something painful like social anxiety is "me too." Just knowing that someone else can relate to our feelings and our experience is immensely reassuring. So it's sometimes helpful to point to others in the public eye who have experienced social anxiety as well.

Measuring Social Anxiety: Social Anxiety Tests, Scales & Inventories

The Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) is a short questionnaire used to measure how social anxiety plays a role in different life situations. This social anxiety test was developed in 1987 by Dr. Michael R. Liebowitz, a psychiatrist and researcher at Columbia University. Studies have shown the LSAS to be a cost-effective and efficient way to identify those with social anxiety.
