People with social anxiety disorder (or social phobia) are extremely anxious about what they will say or do in front of other people. This includes public speaking and day-to-day social situations. But it is more than just being shy or nervous before public speaking. The fear can begin weeks or months before an event. It can cause a fast heartbeat and make it hard to focus.

I think I have this slightly, but not enough that I really need to be on any medication or anything for it!!

An extrovert is someone who is outgoing Lost One. Heck even I hate to go out in the malls. I'm an extrovert but it's all the people standing in my way I want to go in and get out of there as fast as I can.
