I didn't bother taking the test. What is the maximum score? Add 20 to it and you will get my number.

Your score:
11 (fear) + 13 (avoidance) = 24

I hate calling people I don't know and hate public washrooms. Plus, avoiding pushy salespeople, but thats more out of hatred of incompetant sales people, never really considered that a social anxiety thing.

I don't have that much of a problem with public speaking. I went to school/work in theatre so most of my anxiety has been erased due to constantly being around outgoing people. Had I been asked this question in like 9th grade, I probably would have scored like a 90.

Don't worry about pissing in your pants, NTA. Usually people faint and lose control of their bowels, not bladder. Glad I could help.

I know. And they'll probably be thankful if I make it brief. I just hope I don't piss my pants and faint in the process.

Take off your contacts/glasses so you can't see anyone.

Oh, and pretend they are naked or sommat.

That's when I have to give a speech. It's a 2-5 minute one, but it might as well be hours.

As a testament to the value of psychotherapy I am proud to say that I scored a 45.

I used to have problems leaving the house.

I scored a 32...16 in both fear and avoidance.

I didn't feel like going through all those drop down boxes. Is that some considered sort of disorder? The comments on that site are alternately amusing and depressing also.

I probably woulda scored in the middle. Mostly avoidant, cause I suck at meeting people (or think I suck, whatever). Once I start talking to someone I'm fine. I do consider myself socially retarded, I just don't have those natural social cues most people have. I was bowling last week for example and...

Your score:
28 (fear) + 17 (avoidance) = 45

Wow, I'm actually surprised it's that low. But I guess once I know a person well enough the anxiety kind of disappears. Before that, eek. Same with public speaking, going in front of a class of people I know, no big deal; otherwise I'm fine when I actually do it but nervous as hell the night before.

I scored a 24. Most of my points were avoidences.

See though, I don't count that as social anxiety. That's just fucking laziness.
