Even if you have severe SA, there are always certain kinds of people who make you feel more uncomfortable/shy/anxious than others.
In my case, people who make me feel more anxious:
-Men (except for children, old men, close friends and members of my family)
-Authority figures
-People whom I have a crush on
-People who I think don't like me
-People whom I perceive as dominant or much smarter than me
People with whom I experience very little anxiety/no anxiety at all:
-My best friend
-My sister
Then there would be a different group for my parents. It's an odd thing with them, because I am not shy when I speak to them, but on the other hand, I feel very tense and somehow vulnerable when they are observing me doing some activities (simple things like having breakfast, talking on the phone, cleaning the house...).
So well, that was my list. Now it's your turn
