Your score:
30 (fear) + 33 (avoidance) = 63
mostly i just consider myself anti-social. <shrugs> in general people just annoy me, seldom do they frighten me.
i do know social phobias can be very devistating. i hope there is some improvement for you caleb. i would recommend talking to a doctor about it, be honest and factual about how it's affected your life. i know the idea of medications rub people the wrong way sometimes but they can be very helpful. i hesitate to recommend counselling because, well, obviously that involves trusting a person and that is nerve-wracking and sometimes a waste in my opinion, but i'm bias - i just don't trust easily. tell a doctor though, this is treatable.
good luck.
