Hey great thread idea lurknomore
... if you pretend to have face blindness, when in fact you never, ever forget a face, and thus pretend you weren't aware that someone you know just walked by.
... if you take a longer route when walking to avoid bumping into people you know.
... if you feel great about yourself as you're leaving the house to go out, but return home feeling really depressed and full of self loathing.
... if you start avoiding the person you have a crush on (as opposed to pursuing them) ::
Oh, God, I feel so related to all that... and I've only read the first page of the thread:

If you have troubles doing things in front of people such as being watched whilst you work.
If you procrastinate
If you are highly sensitive especially to judgment
If you see a lot of good qualities in others but not in yourself
If you criticize what you have said in a conversation and think later I should have said this or that.
If you feel panicky in social situations and always assume the worst outcomes.

If you faint when shaking hands with a stranger
If you have to walk out from a job interview because you can't breathe
If you'd rather stay home than go to the greatest party of the century
If you never answer the doorbell
If you'd rather have a dog than a girlfriend/boyfriend
If you vomit each time someone gives you a compliment
If you'd rather be dead than get criticized
If you'd rather have an under-payed job as long as you'd work alone than a highly payed job where you'd have to be around people
If you'd do anything to get into solitary while in prison
If your idea of hanging out with friends is to chat with people online
If you'd rather live your life in Azeroth than the real world
If you'd rather wet yourself than go to a public toilet
If you'd rather take a cab than a bus

This totally applies to me! I think I gave up on talking, because whenever I tried, I was ignored, or people talked over me, so I figured there was no point in me trying to say anything.

...you avoided getting an oil change (or putting oil in the car) for 9,000 miles because you were afraid the guys at the car place would criticize you for going over the 3,000 miles recommended, and ended up having to get a new engine for the car (even more embarrassing than getting an oil change at 3,500 miles...)

...You can't make/maintain eye contact with people.
...You rehearse scripts in your head before speaking, and try to anticipate what other people will say so you will know how to react.
...You dread greeting your coworkers every day. When and how you say "Hi" is an everyday drama.

oh so ever true, i dream at times of living in cold snowy hills, in a warm log cabin with all the modern essentials of course, just me and my special someone reading a book/watching tv/movies/videogames/cuddling by the warm fire at night, as the wolves howl in the distance....
i've done that for class if i get there too early and people are outside the door/inside socialising, i run to the bathroom and just browse the web/this site on my itouch LOL
^me when waiting for food at fast food restaurant, or in social interactions where i run out of stuff to say so i excuse myself using the "friend calling" tactic XD
Also, when you manage to get a girls phone #, are still stunned for hours if not days later that you managed to accomplish such a relatively impossible task, and start freaking out about what to do next :/
when you get multiple fb event invites, and start formulating excuses on how to skip one or the other
start panicking when someone doesn't answer your text
purposely scan and search for a secluded area/corner in any given room/environment that you enter
prefer texting over actual face to face interaction, and dread having to "hang out" with the few individuals that you do manage to text well with.
think anything anyone says is either a lie or trying to test/mock your character/social skills, and look down on you before even talking to you.
overanalyzing every single text sent/received

the following conversation never transitions smoothly...
other person: hello "x"
you:hello "y" how are you?
other person:I'm doing well how about you.
you:I'm also well and you?
other person:....
other person: hello "x"
you:hello "y" how are you?
other person:I'm doing well how about you.
you:I'm also well and you?
other person:....
