Causes of social anxiety in adolescents

  Genetic causes
Mental health conditions are often influenced by genetic factors, so if you are a teenager whose parents or relatives have suffered from social anxiety at some point, there is a greater chance of developing social anxiety disorder. Likewise, if you are a parent and suffer from social anxiety, your teen may be at greater risk of developing social anxiety disorder.
 
Social media
Most of us grew up in a world where social media platforms didn't even exist. Teens, on the other hand, essentially grew up in a world where social media abounded. While social media can connect us with people from all over the world, it can also be divisive. In fact, research suggests that teens who get fewer “likes” on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat can have anxiety.
 
Exposure to embarrassing situations or bullying
Teens who are bullied or rejected by someone or who encounter an embarrassing situation, such as not being able to do exercise at school or performing poorly on tests and being made fun of, may develop social anxiety.
 
Low level of self-confidence
When teens don't feel comfortable with themselves, they are more likely to develop social anxiety. For example, a teenager may not be completely confident about his or her appearance; He may think he should lose excess weight, or he may not feel comfortable with his outward appearance, or he may have a physical condition that causes him anxiety.
 
Nature of personality
Teenagers may be more likely to develop social anxiety due to innate personality traits. For example, shy, introverted individuals may feel anxious at the prospect of giving a public speech or going to a social event.
