Question

Victoria has a marked and persistent fear of people critiquing how she eats, so she consistently declines dinner invitations. which appears to be the most appropriate classification for victoria's problem?

Answer 1

Victoria's fear could be classified as a social phobia. This is my perception although I am not a physician. I found other classifications during my web searches such as Avoidant personality disorder (AvPD) described as a social anxiety. Another classification is Enosiophobia - fear of criticism.
