Causes?

you are right and I agree with you...Even it is genetic, envoirement factors can effect SA and you can not know that you are SA althought it is in your genes.
So,the most important thing is our past, what we had lived before and how we responded them...Genetic is not an important factor I think...

The cause is almost always hereditary. Environment also plays a role. My therapist told me approximately 25% of sufferers develop SA before their teens, 50% during their teens and 25% in their early twenties. I developed SA in my teens where I lived in relative isolation with my anti-social parents.

Upbringing, core personality aspects and the present situation are the three main ones. A certain mixture of these three is the deadly.

The last time I saw my dad was as a baby so don't know him. My mum is not really that shy so I know its not from her. My dad had a few mental issues apparentely lol but from what I'm told about him, like he was well known where I live for his street dancing I presume he wasnt SP carrier. I've always been a little shy but my SP fully kicked in when I was about 12-13 years old. Do people grow out of it? I'm 20 now. x

Possibly not exactly what you were talking about, but I was thinking about this today.

Back in junior school I did have a couple of friends.‭ ‬I probably pushed them away by turning them down when they asked me to go out,‭ ‬due to being a bit shy.

When I went to college for three years I was of course no longer with the group of people from school that I’d known since the start.‭ ‬It was new and like a breath of fresh air.‭ ‬They were great,‭ ‬I liked them,‭ ‬they liked me.‭ ‬Yet in those three years not one person asked me to do anything,‭ ‬not even to hang around in free periods. True, I didn't put myself out, but it's not even like they asked once, got turned down and never tried again. I left and I have no contact with them.

Basically I've always been the quiet kid who everyone likes, but nobody actually wants to know or do anything with.

I mean, no wonder I have no self esteem or confidence.

It’s happening again too.

I would have to say that parents, environment and genetics are the main reasons for SA and many other issues.

However, I believe that with the proper parenting most of the other factors can be diminished if not eliminated.

Many parents do not have the proper skill set to pass on the core traits and brain connections that you will need throughout your life. So even if you didn't get SA there is a chance that something else may be really wrong because your parents were not what they should have been.

Many people should never be parents.

Last night I thought of something. I remember when I was at pre school, my first contact with other kids. I never mixed with anyone, even back then. So whatever caused my problems, it was always there. Hmm.
