This is a free online test test you can take to see how likely it is that you suffer from social anxiety dissorder (SAD). For ages I called my fear of social situations "shyness", but then I found out what I have is too severe to be called shyness, and is SAD. When I typed in social anxiety dissorder into google, I got I found many more useful resources than when I typed in shyness.

Knowing what the problem is helps you find the solution, so GL :)

" Your Score: 128

What the score means:
Social anxiety disorder has been divided into subtypes:

1. a generalized subtype, in which the individual experiences significant anxiety in most social situations
2. a subtype that applies to various specific phobias such as public speaking, eating in public, or urinating in a public facility or when others are waiting.


Score 90 or higher SAD extremely probable
Scores in this range often are accompanied by great distress and difficulty in social functioning, and are also commonly seen in persons entering treatment for the generalized type of SAD.


I always knew it was this bad but most others usually don't understand so they keep pushing me to do things, expecting that i'll grow out of it. Yeah right! "
