KK – I have yet to see his full report – he’s mailing me a copy, but the doc said to not be alarmed or concerned over what I was going to see, then explained one issue he put in there was “social anxiety” – I wonder if this is part of ADD, or we get that way over years because of ADD, or it’s a personality “trait”??

I read your comment ->

I found that I had to confront my social anxieties rather than avoiding them, and this actually reduced my anxiety levels as time went on, despite being very stressful initially.

And yeah, that’s me. I avoid phone calls, put them off until I MUST, or they call me… things like that. I had to agree with the man – he’s right, it fits, but is it me, or ADD trait, or developed because of ADD as a coping thing?
