I got 104 and have severe social anxiety.

I have never been diagnosed with having social anxiety but I have been diagnosed with aspergs.
I think it is a big part of aspergers.

The reason I have SA is because of how I was treated as a child. I can remember a time when I did not have it.
I would always make an idiot out of myself.
One day when I was 13 I realized that people really did hate me. It hurt my to the point where I feared people.
I am very scared to talk to strangers or even people I have met because I don't want to be hurt like that again.

NO social phobia, just as I expected, though I'm close to the threshold (which is also in line with my expectation), due to anxiety in romantic relationships and speaking before an audience.

Ironically, those are the two areas I don't have anxiety in.

I scored 89 - severe social phobia.

The mention of returning items at a store is something I've been thinking about in relation to AS. Family/friends have always been baffled by my absolute refusal/avoidance to return anything. I've only returned something once, because it was a can of spray paint that exploded in my face and I was nervous to even have it in my apartment after that naturally, and I would've needed to dispose of it in some special bio-hazard way to throw it out myself.
