What they call 'social phobia' is actually completely normal. It is abnormal to be without this 'phobia'.

Fear = caution. Humans are the most dangerous creatures here. Even if they do not mean you any harm, they are all capable of harming you. This is where the 'social phobia' comes from. If you are afraid of heights, you are not afraid because the heights mean you harm; you are afraid because the heights could harm you. This is a perfectly normal function of what we call 'fear'.
