I don't have social anxiety though. I can talk for days. I just don't.
I'm not saying social anxiety is the only reason for avoiding interacting with other people based on their age/race/socioeconomic status/etc, but it's one of the few that doesn't fall into the "bigot" category, IMO.
I'm not a bigot and I don't have social anxiety.
Most of your criteria for deciding whether to interact with someone seems to be based on their ethnicity, native language, age, or gender.

Yeah, but the criteria includes my own group and also literally includes me. So by your own definition I can't be a bigot.
