My mother has social anxiety and lately i’ve been noticing a lot of the symptoms and i was wondering if it can be passed down. Is it possible that i have the same genes as her that cause social anxiety?

Yes, it’s sadly a gene thing. It runs on my father side.
But it doesn’t atomically means you will have SA.
I would say it is a genetic condition. Talk with your doctor and start treatment now if it’s necessary.
