13．Social Phobia
It's natural to feel nervous，or shy in front of others at times．Most people manage to get through these moments when they need to．（71）B It's probably more than shyness．It may build up into a powerful fear．As a result，people feel uncomfortable participating in everyday social activities．This is called social phobia （also called social anxiety）．
（72）D It prevents them from chatting with friends in the lunchroom，joining an after-school club，or going to a party．Sometimes，they even feel too nervous to ask a question in class or go to a teacher for help．Social phobia not only prevents people from trying new things．It also prevents them from making the normal，everyday mistakes that help people improve their skills still further．
It is really sad，isn't it？But the good news is that people with social phobia can learn to manage fear，develop confidence and communicating skills and stop avoiding things that make them nervous．Of course it's not always easy．Dealing with social phobia takes patience，courage to face fears and the willingness to practice．（73）E
Therapists （治疗师） can help people create a plan for facing social fears and build the skills and confidence to overcome it．And family or friends are especially important for them．（74）G Friends and family can encourage them to pick a small goal to aim for，remind them to go for it，and be there when they might feel discouraged．Good friends and family are there to celebrate each small success along the way．
Little by little，someone who decides to deal with extreme shyness can learn to be more comfortable．（75）F As shyness and fears begin to melt，confidence and positive feelings build．Pretty soon，the person is thinking less about what might feel uncomfortable and more about what might be fun．
A．Friends can overcome their fears．
B．But for some，the anxiety can be extreme．
C．They are not able to make eye contact with classmates．
D．Social phobia makes people lonely or disappointed over missed opportunities．
E．It also takes a commitment to go forward rather than back away when feeling shy．
