Er, at least I think I do. Not so much of a people-person lol. I keep to myself alot. I don't go out as often as my friends do. Parties are always a bore.

When I was a kid, I never had friends over, only time I interacted with other kids (besides family) was at school.

I hate going to a club with friends, or a party, as others, I don't like doing anything there, or I want to leave early. When I drive, I rarely look around, just straight ahead, or mess with the radio, I just don't like being looked at (I hate having the targa on, ironically). Every girlfriend I've had, has asked me out.

It's weird, if I'm working outside on my car, and my neighbor comes out, or someone's walking by, I pretend I need something from inside, and I wont come out until they're gone...

I used to have the food ordering issue, and answering the phone, but I notice with time it's gotten less severe...

gilbert, az
I have it, I dont like being in crowds or around people I dont know. Like going to the mall or something my personality changes. Or, if Im working across from someone I dont know, if I get to know them after a few days Im fine.

I try to just man up and deal with it, but its something that has always effected me.

Hmm... well, don't think I qualify.

I have *zero* problems talking in front of large groups of people. I don't like people in general, though. I've got a short temper with stupidity ;)

+2 for not liking people

I'm just plain antisocial and am comfortable with my own company.
(I live alone and prefer it this way)

i am horrible at public speaking, talking to new people on the phone is also something i try to avoid (even the girl i was talking to i'd rather talk to thru text/in person, it is awkward when you're on the phone and you've run out of things you wanted to talk about lol)

but yeah, when i get in front of alot of people i don't really know i get shaky for some reason, and my hands sweat (my hands sweat alot in general though, but it escalates)

i'd definitely classify this stuff into the category, lol "S.A.D." how ironique
