Why aren’t there any movies dealing with social anxiety disorder?

There are movies about depression, suicide, loss, everything under the sun… yet nobody’s thought to make a movie dealing with social anxiety disorder.

I am not 100% sure on these because I am not certain what was wrong with the characters but check out:

Punch Drunk Love
The Problem With Fear
Office Space
Choking Man (this one is your best bet)

    Maybe the audience interest just isn’t there.

    THERE IS !!

    "Safe" from 1995 is the most engaging & sensitive movie to this horrifying experience, that many that do not have it — fail to understand.

    This movie is for people who have this disorder (like myself) … and I have a feeling… you :)

    Edit –

    NOTE — There is a "mask" throughout this movie, that the protaganist has an allergy to "environmental chemicals" –

    Trust me — When you see the movie in-full, this is done to show what many have to go through, before they realize what is the BASE reason for their "panic."

    check out "Lars and the Real Girl"
    It’s about a lonely man who lives in the garage of his brother’s house. He tries to avoid his brother’s wife who tries to invite him in the house to eat breakfast. He avoids talking to people at work and the parties he’s invited to. He doesn’t like being hugged or any physical contact. He purchases a "love" doll and becomes delusional (thinking the doll is a real girl). Through this, people in his life hesitantly play along.
