For years I saw Norwegians
Trying to avoid social interactions
Or painfully and reluctantly endured them
It seemed to involve discomfort around social interactions
And concern about being embarrassed and judged by others
"Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is characterized by a significant amount of fear in one or more social situations, causing considerable distress and impaired ability to function in at least some parts of daily life. These fears can be triggered by perceived or actual scrutiny from others." -Wikipedia
