I grew up in a narcissistic family and I was gaslit to feel crazy. It wasn't until recently that I realized it's them and not me. I believe my anxiety stems from growing up in a dysfunctional home and having to fend for myself. ❤

I would add this:
fear of expressing our OWN scrutiny, our OWN judgement and expose other people's abuse.
This is a hint that social anxiety is Complex Trauma - after-effect of being mentally abused in childhood and later on - but this abuse is buried and denied and ignored and purposely forgotten about due to amount of punishment and pain.
