Angela was having a hard time adjusting to her new job. She often felt her new co workers were judging her performance and making comments about her when she wasn't around. When it came time to participate in meetings, Angela often tried to hide in the corner of the office and hope her manager wouldn't call on her to speak. Soon, Angela became fearful of even coming to work and her performance began to drop. After speaking with the Office counselor, Angela began to see she was suffering from social anxiety and possibly even a phobia of public speaking or public spaces. She knew she had to get help right away if she wanted to be able to function at work.
