Not really, social anxiety is, as you'd expect, when you get anxious in social situations, it's fairly easy to know if you have it.
Personally I think it's a pile of shite a lot of the time though, my friend claims he has it (and has been diagnosed) but it only affects him when he sees his ex or someone he has had a fight with in the past when we're on a bus/train etc., it never affects him any other time and he's about 10 times more outgoing than me usually. Feeling anxious in those situations is understandable imo, although if he just tried to relax it would sort out the problem completely.
And no I'm not just being an ignorant prick (although I can be!
), it's easy to see the difference between a real case of social anxiety that has a major effect on them and someone who just thinks their life is much more difficult than anyone else's and could do with a serious dose of the chill pill!

Social anxiety sucks, it's the reason I got a room by myself for the Leaving Cert, but my doctor just put it down on the form as "exam related anxiety". :P0 -
