I would also say an 8. I grew up with social anxiety and not the way they've been displaying it in recent media. I mean like actual, crippling social anxiety. Like I legit couldn't talk to a cashier to pay for my own food 'cause I was too afraid. I've been forced to—out of necessity —to talk to people and I've grown accustom to doing so given the right scenario but I am also an introvert. I think all of that adds up to me just not being the type of person to go around talking to strangers. If I did for some reason decide to, I would probably be very uncomfortable. It's just not in my nature.
Oh yeah cashiers are scary as well
