阅读理解 Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have changed the way that people interact and connect on a daily basis. They are changing the face of relationships of every kind. One of the major concerns that have caught the attention of many, is the influence that social media may be having on social anxiety disorders. If removed from their phone for a few hours or a few days, the average person would likely feel anxious about not being "connected". Most people have probably experienced an occasion in which they posted a creative photo, and waited to see "how many" or "retweets" they received. If this number is lower than expected, the (自我) ego is going to take a hit. There is also constant checking of the number of "followers" and "friends" that you have, and these numbers can have a direct influence on feelings of acceptance and popularity. Anxiety can arise from feeling at a loss when faced with too much going on at one time Multitasking can very quickly lead to increased levels of anxiety. Most people can likely relate to feeling the constant need to check their phone while driving, during meals or at work. This desire is actually leading to increased levels of anxiety. The choice to be constantly connected leads to the feeling of having to always make yourself available. Social anxiety is much different from the anxiety one feels from being offline. It's a more serious type of anxiety resulting from the fear of being judged by others while in a social interaction. Cases can range from mild— and are often the cause of a lot of drinking with others to severe, in which case a person may avoid parties and get-togethers altogether. The degree to which social media and technology are changing our lives and introducing new forms of anxiety is anything but deniable (可否认的) .
