Harold Sosa+FollowWhy Socially Anxious People Are Actually GiftedEver feel like you totally blank out in big groups? Turns out, people with social anxiety usually have two rare superpowers: 1) They’re often super smart (like, high-IQ smart), and 2) they’re extra empathetic. Studies say all that overthinking and worrying actually means you’re more observant and tuned in to others’ feelings. So, if crowds freak you out, you might just be a secret genius with a big heart.

Brandon Burke+FollowThis Anxiety Med Might Rewire Your BrainWild new study alert: People with social anxiety actually show less brain activity when thinking about negative stuff about themselves—until they take escitalopram (yep, the antidepressant). After a week on the med, their brains start acting more like those without social anxiety. Basically, escitalopram could help your brain process social fears in a healthier way. Science is literally watching meds change minds! #Health #MentalHealth #SocialAnxiety8724Share
