Social Anxiety

I can't stand crowds. Always have, always will. I will do just about anything to avoid being around large groups of people. I also strongly dislike traffic jams. I will go far out of my way to avoid one when possible. And don't even get me started on the telephone. I hate talking on the phone (especially to people I don't know). This is not normal I'm sure. I am certain I have social anxiety to some extent. I have always known I was an introvert and that meeting new people was really challenging for me. However, I always thought it was "just me". It turns out there are others like me. It's nice to have some company. People still think I'm weird, but at least now I know I'm not the only one :-)
