If someone disrespects them over and over for instance, they should express their feelings rather than let it continue. The sad part is, most would just let it continue. Thank you for your comment!

There is no 'incorrect' way to express emotion, although there can be socially unacceptable ways (e.g. throwing things or screaming at people when you're upset). There are a myriad ways/reasons for experiencing Social Anxiety - in fact, I suffer from a mild case of it occasionally. From my experience, I can confidently state that it has less to do with how you express your emotions, and everything to do with what you're thinking when you leave your house. I think the key lies in an open mind. Don't feel bad because you feel a certain way; instead, simply be aware of how you feel, and try to go through your day as calmly as possible.
