Social Anxiety and Premature Birth

[chris87]

I was just wondering if there is a known correlation between social anxiety and premature birth. I saw something online not too long ago about a study linking low self-esteem and depression to early birth. It said that girls were more frequently affected.

I was born about two months and one week early. I'm planning on visiting the doctor soon, because I think that I have OCD and Social Anxiety. I wasn't sure if being born premature has anything to do with this.

well i was released into the jungle via a premature birth, so perhaps but i'm not going to blame my problems on that as ive had moments where ive had lots of friends but certainly i find it tricky not being shy ..so shyness has always been there

I was born 3 days early.

I doubt it. I think it's genetics+upbringing. It's possible that it's more likely with a premature birth, but... I was 10 days late.
