How much Social Anxiety do you have? email this discussion to a friend?

A friend shared this link with me to a quiz on social anxiety. I scored a 61 which means I have moderate social anxiety. What about you? How do you think you'll do and after you take the test, were you pretty close to accurate?

I kinda knew that mine was moderate.. I actually thought it would be a little higher. I tend to avoid being around groups of people and I avoid speaking in public at all costs.

I know I have a problem and this test proves it. 63(fear) + 69(avoidance)= 132. It says, "You have very severe social anxiety". I knew this though. I am glad that this proves it. I have been like this most of my life.

The only time that I will speak in public is in a church setting. I do not like crowds at all. In fact, if there are three people, including me, most of the time I do not want to be there. I feel very uncomfortable. I know that I will be moderate or higher, but I will take the test, just to be sure.

It says I have marked social phobia. The lowest is those having moderate social phobia. So, is social phobia just normal or common? I especially avoid parties, drinking, speaking before a group or delivering speech.

Having been diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder I am not surprised by my results LOL
I got a 113!!
I have severe social anxiety
I guess those shrinks were right LOL


myLot reputation of 95/100. HeavenUnaware (989)   ranked 257 out of 34,875 in people  10 months ago

I hope this doesn't come out wrong but I never would have guessed you as having Social Anxiety Disorder. You always seem so well spoken and vocal here on MyLot about things close to your heart or that matter to you - I figured if there were a group of people together with you, you would be the one holding everyone's attention. happy

Funny how people are, compared to how others see them!


myLot reputation of 70/100. Zukeprv2 (180)   ranked 3,611 out of 34,875 in people  10 months ago

the internet is a great tool for us with severe anxiety
because we dont have to actually "face" anyone
if we get overly anxious we can log out and walk away


myLot reputation of 95/100. HeavenUnaware (989)   ranked 257 out of 34,875 in people  10 months ago

That is so true.. I would never be able to speak to people as freely as I do on the internet. If only we could use a keyboard when we had to speak in real public.. lol


myLot reputation of 95/100. mummyofthree (2104)   ranked 665 out of 34,875 in people  10 months ago

The internet really is a blessing. Without it I don't think I'd have that much social interaction at all. It's a wierd condition cause I want to go out and do things and lead a "normal" life. But end up spending all my time in the house making up excuses why I can't do things LOL!

Greater than 95 - Very severe social phobia

No surprise there then since i'm on anxiety meds!!!

And those questions were answered based on how I am on the meds, so I dread to think what the score would be if I wasn't on them! cry


myLot reputation of 95/100. mummyofthree (2104)   ranked 665 out of 34,875 in people  10 months ago

I got 97 btw!

good to know I am not the only one that stays home and thinks up excuses to NOT go out LOL

I scored an 8 but I do not have social anxiety.

When I was younger I did and simply learned through time that I am who I am and my world will not crumble if everyone does not like me or what I do. I can sit quietly in the corner or be the center of attention without distress because at the end of the day, it really doesn't matter.

i scored a 9 which i have to say i was very surprised about, i have had problems when i was younger and as a child i would have scored very high on this but with a bit of help and a lot of time i learnt to ignore most of what people did or said to me and to love myself for what i am and who i am despite others, there was a time when i hated myself that much and had that low self esteem i wanted 3 cosmetic surgery procedures done very desperately, i never got them done and the job i do made me feel a lot more confident and loose my inhibitions


unlikeyou (10)  9 months ago

I, like you scored a lot lower than I would have at first imagined--a total of 32 in my case. Not too many years ago, I as well would have scored much higher than that.

Most of my score comes from the Avoidance category. I only really mildly-moderately fear a few of those things, but I sure as heck avoid doing most of them, because either it's polite to do so, it makes me nervous (but not fearful), or I can think of many other things I'd rather be doing.

8. myLot reputation of 92/100. pinklemonade (366)   ranked 4,301 out of 34,875 in people   6 months ago

I didn't think mine would be this high at all
I got 51 (fear) and 49 (avoidance) so that makes 100 which is very severe social anxiety

I am not on any kind of medication for it at all though and it affects my life so much, I guess I didn't want to be a hypochondriac

The thing that gets me the most is other people hearing what I say and generally a large amount of people. I get so anxious in my art studio that I quite often have to escape really quickly outside so no one sees me

Before I even took the test, I already knew that I have severe social anxiety. I Could you believe just an hour ago I was crying because I felt so out of place feeling extremely disoriented. When you have social anxiety, you feel like you are going crazy sometimes, especially when you are alone. Social anxiety has caused me to miss out on exciting career opportunities and great friendships. I am even feeling depressed right now about it.
