How do I know whether I'm shy or socially anxious?

Question

Name: Ayesha Date of Birth: 12 May 1999 Place of Birth: Bengaluru Time: 1:30 PM. 
I've always been shy and quiet, especially in new places. But recently, I began to feel nervous even in comfortable situations. My heart beats quickly, I look away, and I obsess over conversations in my mind for hours on end. 

I'm lost as to whether it's mere shyness or something more. I don't want to unnecessarily tag myself, but at the same time, I want to know. How can I tell if I'm inherently shy or experiencing social anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Hello Ayesha. Your Bengaluru birth in May gives you a "Taurus" desire for peace.

*The Cause:* Shyness is a personality trait; your heart beating fast is a Rahu-driven anxiety. You are crossing the line from "quiet" to "avoidant."

*Remedy & Solution:*
    ● *Green Therapy:* Spend 20 minutes with indoor plants. Mercury (communication) is ruled by the color green and the earth.
    ● *Gemstone:* An Emerald (after consultation) will help "fix" your wavering Mercury.
    ●*Action:* The "Post-Mortem Rule." After a social event, you are allowed 5 minutes to think about it. Then, you must "burn" the thought and move on.
