I don't see how resisting a high pressure sales person makes you socially anxious though. They're just annoying and I don't want their shit! |

That's true. I should amend that one. When they approach me, I think "Fuck you, die in a fire," not "MUST ESCAPE IN FEAR!!!"

Your score:
12 (fear) + 8 (avoidance) = 20 I think the most "fearful" thing I had to do in the last couple of years was give a 2 minute speech in front of Oregon's Governor (in a crowd of 40 people). I teach day long classes on about three weeks every year, so I'm not terribly shy. |

I like speaking in public and in front of groups. I love the power of them having to sit there and listen to me. Of course I am an extremely entertaining
speaker. I live in a van down by the river.

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. |

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 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 some giant female creature got a tad over-excited, so she started to step backwards prefacing an ass-plant. I just backed up until her ass hit the ground and then waited for the dust to settle. I don't know if I was being a dick, a social tard, or just saving my life. Probably all three. My friend thought I should've helped her up. I mainly laughed at her. She didn't seem to mind. And what is with the "observed" while working or writing? Unless your work is dependent on people watching you (strippers, back me up here), why would you like someone watching you work. You can't dig at your nether regions or browse the Internet at your leisure if someone is peering over your shoulder. |

I scored a 32...16 in both fear and avoidance.
...guess I'm not a total social loser after all, then? |

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. |

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

Take off your contacts/glasses so you can't see anyone.
Oh, and pretend they are naked or sommat. {No one is really going to be listening, anyway.} |

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.

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