    I read this interesting new study on people with social anxiety disorder which was released online in the journal PLOS One.

    Here's a quick rundown of what it states:
    "In many patients with social anxiety disorder, the personality traits exhibited are almost unique to the condition, with introversion and emotional instability considered hallmark traits, new research finds.

    According to the findings, published in PLOS One, social anxiety is strongly correlated with personality, which is generally characterized by five dimensions: agreeableness, conscientiousness, extraversion, neuroticism, and openness.

    The results showcased a variation in personality traits, with high neuroticism and introversion regarded as the most prevalent. The study’s co-authors listed three personality groups based on their findings of the patients."
