Can you imagine awaking each morning to a pervasive feeling of worry or dread? Or how it might feel to be so anxious about what would happen during your day that you found yourself unable to live a normal productive life? Millions of people live with these feelings of dread and fear everyday. For them, the feelings can range from experiencing slightly heightened anxiety levels to a state of panic so pervasive that it is impossible to live a normal life.

An anxiety disorder at any level has consequences on the social acceptance of the affected individual. As one might imagine, these consequences can range as wide as the symptoms of the anxiety disorder themselves, from mildly affecting a person's social planning to completely dictating what social situations the effected individual would find bearable on any level.

The symptoms of anxiety disorders make it almost impossible for the millions of people afflicted with them to maintain normal relationships. Their anxiety levels even when they seem to be well controlled make dealing with them on any social level much more difficult than dealing with the average individual.

They often feel the need to check with their friends and loved ones repeatedly just to be sure that they are okay. While this may not seem like it would affect them much socially, can you imagine maintaining a friendship with a person who seemed to incessantly need reassurance that you were okay? Or who was offended if you forgot to check in with something? The added pressures of maintaining social relationships with people suffering from anxiety disorders often times make it impossible for them to build lasting fulfilling relationships.

Another caveat in the social world of those with more severe anxiety disorders is their reluctance to stray from their "safe zones". It is hard to imagine, but some individuals are so scared of what will happen outside of their normal routines that they stay enclosed in their houses for days.

Maintaining social relationships when an anxiety disorder has progressed to this stage becomes almost impossible. It is then that their friends and family become the sole bearers of their anxieties, which can lead to a myriad of problems for not only the person affected by the disorder, but the people they lean on for support as well.

As you can see, anxiety disorders truly infiltrate every aspect of the lives of the individuals suffering from them. The constant worry and anxiety that the person experience wreaks emotional havoc, and the social life of the individual with the disorder cannot help but to suffer.

The disorder can become so pervasive into the social aspect of their life as to annihilate it completely, leaving the person suffering with not only the anxieties that their mind creates, but the real life anxieties of an ever shortening social circle.
