Our fear of being perceived is more than just social anxiety, its a real phobia around being scrutinised, observed and primarily judged by others.

How our fear of being perceived is both a social and specific phobia
Why do we worry about what other people think?
Perfectionism and our fear of being perceived
The impact of early childhood experiences
Three mental shifts to overcome your fear of being perceived
