  • Summary

    The aim of this chapter is to explicate the relationship among social anxiety, bodily experiences, and interpersonal contact with others. In so doing, I will first revisit the phenomenology of bodily experiences and confirm the difference between the body-as-subject and the body-as-object. Next, I will describe the experiences of one's body-as-object for others, distinguishing them from those of one's body-as-object for oneself. Among phenomenologists, it was Sartre (1943/1956) who emphasized the former aspect of bodily experiences as the “third ontological dimension of the body.” On the basis of this notion, I will try to develop a phenomenology of social anxiety as well as its disorder. In its most basic form, social anxiety can be described as a feeling of uncertainty of the other's mind that becomes salient in social situations.
