Social anxiety check-in

Three questions about fear and avoidance around other people. Note: these are the standard published questions, written for a general audience — read "speaking to people" as communicating in whatever way you normally would.

This is a screening, not a diagnosis. Your answers are scored on your device and are never sent or saved — not even if you ask us to follow up afterwards. For a full picture, talk with a licensed Deaf therapist.

How much has each been true for you over the past week?

  1. 1Fear of embarrassment causes me to avoid doing things or speaking to people.
  2. 2I avoid activities in which I am the center of attention.
  3. 3Being embarrassed or looking stupid are among my worst fears.

A total of 6 or more is the published cut-off for a positive screen for social anxiety disorder.
