It accounts for a lot.
A new study found that anxious people use a different part of the brain for social behaviour than people who are not anxious., suggests that this difference in brain function may be responsible for the difficulty that anxious people often have in social situations.
‘Anxious people use a less suitable section of the forebrain for this control. It’s more difficult for them to choose alternative behaviour, so they avoid social situations more often,’ said Bob Bramson, one of the study’s authors. When faced with a negative social situation, anxious people may be more likely to avoid it altogether rather than try to control their behaviour and interact with others
Other scans showed that the reason for this is probably because the ‘correct’ section becomes overstimulated in anxious people.
