Social Media is all around us. You might even be checking out this blog through social media. However, alongside social media, the topic of social anxiety appears to be on the rise.  A student, working on a master’s thesis project from the University of Alberta, asked if he could do a video interview with Jeremiah La Follette from New Life Counselling on the topic of Social Anxiety and How it Relates to Social Media.
