Final Answer :
Socially anxious people describe themselves as feeling nervous during social interactions.They have heightened physiological arousal.Emilio displays this nervousness as he is described as feeling as though he is "in a living nightmare.His heart is racing, his palms are sweaty, and his mouth is dry.He feels slightly nauseous." while he is waiting to give his speech.All these experiences are physiological symptoms of social anxiety.
