It was found that individuals with Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) are also highly empathetic in nature and in the way they communicate in social relationships (Byrne, 2022). If someone has high social anxiety, levels of empathy are also higher. Those who are highly empathetic can become emotionally invested and impacted by emotionally charged events and situations. In addition, individuals with Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) can extend this social phobia to worrying about the social wellbeing of others, especially those who they are close to.
