I really am socially phobic, I think.

Sometimes it masquerades as agoraphobic tendencies. And sometimes I can separate enough from the fear that I'm not even aware of it. But sometimes it seems painfully obvious.
Like when I went to my son's activity yesterday and slid through the crowd trying to avoid anyone who looked familiar, and sat as far away as I possibly could trying to look invisible. I try to look invisible a lot. I sometimes think I don't mind being fat because fat plain people are invisible to most others.
So I think I'm going to give some thought to whether I'm really mildly agoraphobic or if I'm a social phobic instead. The funny thing is that I have no awareness of fear, just aversion.
