In browsing through this website I found myself fascinaed with the "Disorders" page and of what the many different types of issues consist.

I found one that caught my eye and I clicked it ... it turns out that I have found one phobia of which I have exhibited symptoms.

I have expirienced many symptoms of Social Phobia, but there are a few differences. While I do find myself somewhat comfortable with familiar people, I am less likely to perform freely infront of a smaller crowd of people that I personally know than when infront of a larger crowd of people I've never known. However, even before that latter crowd, I would find it very difficult to perform freely if I know that someone I do know is in that crowd ... even if they are there to support and encouraage me.

I also find myself unable to feel strong on my own in situations regarding meeting a girl, but I feel even worse if there are people I know or even friends around. I can't stand teasing or even talking about my having a girlfriend.

Does this stll fall in the category of Social Phobia?
