Body Sensations and Emotional Reactions of Social Anxiety among Young Adults

Abstract This study examined the patterns of social anxiety symptoms among seventy young adults, with a focus on understanding how these symptoms vary across gender. Using primary data collected through a structured questionnaire, the study assessed body sensations such as trembling, sweating, and muscle tension, along with emotional responses that included nervousness, discomfort, withdrawal, and avoidance. Thematic analysis revealed three major themes, namely body sensation experiences, emotional response patterns, and avoidance or withdrawal behaviour. Female participants reported stronger body sensations and more intense emotional reactions, while male participants exhibited fewer symptoms overall. The findings support existing evidence that gender influences emotional sensitivity and physiological reactions in socially demanding situations. These results highlight the importance of gender informed approaches in mental health screening and suggest the need for early intervention strategies within educational and community settings. Understanding gender based variations in social anxiety can provide valuable guidance for counsellors, educators, and health professionals involved in youth mental health care.
