What's the craziest thing you've ever done because of your social anxiety?

Sorry, I don't mean to monopolize the thread but I'm pretty screwed up.

If I'm at a close friends or family gathering and I hear that someone is going to come over that I don't know well, I will most likely make up an excuse and leave.

I also absolutely hate talking pictures!!! My SA in that environment goes through the roof. Somewhat due to my OCD. Anything will distract my vision so it is almost impossible for me to focus enough to "pose and smile." When people ask me, I tell them NO. Sometimes it turns into a major ordeal where family or friends will start to DEMAND a picture and I will argue with them...so embarrassing! After taking the picture they will show it to me but I won't really look at it. I'll just pretend that I saw it.

At a family gathering, I went outside and stood out in the cold, with my relatives' neighbor's dog barking at me. But strangely, I could care less about the barking. What scared me more is going back inside that house.
