I took a social anxiety test!

He rates social situations mostly 2–3, especially public speaking, phone calls, crowds, strangers, confrontation, and cashier work; friends feel safer. The online test yields 70/90, indicating high social anxiety, but he stresses it is not a professional diagnosis. He rejects calling it a disorder, frames avoidance as personality, mocks therapy’s presentation and $160 cost, and declines treatment.

Persistent social avoidance is reinterpreted as identity and preference, limiting willingness to seek change.
