If not then how does a child develop social anxiety?
Yes, a baby can be born with social anxiety. I can learn it in the womb.
A child can also learn it four other ways:
1 by experiencing a situation where the child is upset by an event (classical conditioning)
2 watching a person be upset by an event (social learning)
3 be told a story of a person being being upset by an event (social learning)
4 Being rewarded for being upset by an event (Opponent Conditioning)
