You should do more to be social, even if it's painfully difficult for you.
Spending time alone is healthy in moderate amounts, but you're practically a hermit!

You are beyond shy - you are most likely have a social phobia.
Social events give you deep anxiety. You can't deal with being around other people.
Your social phobia is completely taking over your life, and it's not pleasant.
Seek help, and you'll be able to enjoy life instead of fearing it.

Yea, it is upsetting for me. Maybe this is why I had such a hard life. I am thinking I should take this test into the doctor and tell him about it. I am on anti-depressants, but I think it is more of a social phobia as the root cause, and depression is just a side effect.

I have said many times I believe I have social phobia.

I will schedule an appointment after I go back to work.

This is probably why social situations are so draining for me.

Oh bollocks.
But what is with this question:
"You have trouble using public restrooms."
What does this have to do with my shyness? I thought it was just a hygiene thing! :dizzy:

10 years ago I was still very shy. I'm not anymore, but I would absolutely not say that I am 'quite outgoing'. I'm still extremely introverted. I don't know how good this test is at differentiating introversion from shyness.

Not too bad actually, scored better than I thought I would.
 
You Are 56% Shy
Although you live a pretty normal life, you tend to be a fairly shy person.
Many situations make you feel uncomfortable, and you sometimes find your shyness hindering your life.
You can survive daily life just fine, but you don't go out of your way to be social.
Watch out. You may end up missing out on some advantages that extroverted people have.


I think some of the questions are bad or, at least, inapplicable to some people. For example, I'm a strong T, which overcomes any diffidence if I need to be assertive to achieve a goal. Also, I don't like answering the door, but I don't dread answering the door (unless I'm expecting a subpoena!). I've been married a long time, so the dating question is inapplicable. I have no idea how I'd like dating (I'm hopelessly monogamous) but I imagine I'd dislike it. I have about as much trouble talking to women I don't know well as I do to men I don't know well. Retrospectively, I realize I've always been shy although I've only articulated this to myself recently. Finally, the above analysis implies that shyness and introversion are the same. I disagree.

I'd say this is pretty accurate.

Yes, when it compares you to an extroverted person, they're thinking that shyness and introversion are synonymous which is complete bullshit and illustrates most people's ignorance to what introversion and extroversion actually is.
