Thank you so very much...just wanted to say a couple of things because I don't want to misrepresent myself...you said,

You're right, of course, but I was trying to suggest that I CAN talk to people. I can ask for help in a store...but I'd much rather be lost and spend four hours trying to find it without asking. Same with calling an insurance agent - I can, and my call might be the highlight of their day cause I'll be witty and friendly and whatever...but I'd rather have a root canal without anesthesia. So again - can do without logistical difficulties but can't do without emotional difficulties.

So you'd say can't do even though I'm socially capable, because I don't or won't - right?

Yay! I got one right!

So just to clarify...and see if I can use some of this for other questions that are similar: If I "don't" do something, that's the same as "can't" for the purposes of this questionnaire?

Again, thank you so much for your input!
