Why the Fear of Embarrassment Can Literally Kill You
Amy Morin, LCSW
Verywell Mind Editor-in-Chief
Whether you carried on a whole conversation with spinach in your teeth or you slipped and fell in front of a whole room full of people, embarrassing moments are inevitable.
Although embarrassment feels uncomfortable, it won't kill you. But, the fear of embarrassment might actually be deadly.

The fear of being embarrassed can lead to social anxiety. And in some cases, the fear of embarrassment can lead to some unhealthy choices.

Fortunately, there's help for people who fear being judged or who fear that they'll experience embarrassment.

On today's episode, I share real-life ways the fear of embarrassment sometimes kills people. And I talk about the steps you can take to conquer your fear rather than avoid embarrassing moments altogether.
