Not at all A little bit Somewhat Very much Extremely Social events scared me. I enjoy talking to people i don't know. Feeling anxious causes me to avoid doing things or speaking to people. I enjoy going to parties. I seek activities in which I am the center of attention. Talking to strangers bothers me. I like talking to large groups of people. I would do anything to avoid being around large groups of people. My heart rate increases when I'm aroung big gruops of people. I worry what other will think about me when I dont make sense. Forgetting what I'm going to say in front of others is distressing to me. I feel comfortable in large groups of people. I find it difficult to mix comfortably with the people I work with. I find it easy to think of things to talk about. I like sitting in the front of the room.       Thank you for your participation.
