As adults, we should all take full responsibility of our faults. There is no good reason to sit in self-pity and blame others. However, there is a lot of benefit in understanding why, or how these faults were formed.

Personally, I feel that a good portion, if not the majority of social anxiety comes from overprotective parents. I think "Don't talk to strangers" is actually a very unhealthy thing to teach children. For me, it goes beyond that. My mom's own social anxiety kept me from participating in boy scouts. In fact, I didn't get involved in any extra curriculars. By the time I was in middle school, I was a background character. As a young adult, I struggled to make eye contact.

In short, I wasn't given the support I needed to develop social skills. I know that technology has made it easier for us to spend our time alone, but I don't see that as a root cause. What causes do you think contribute social anxiety?

If you don't experience, or have never experienced social anxiety, what do you think contributed to that?
