I wasn't aware that i was socially phobic until many of my other anxieties were under more control.

I would think wanting to look invisible would be diagnostic of social phobia. Wearing any kind of clothing that is at all attention-getting has brought me to the edge of panic on many occasions. One time I was wearing a shirt that a friend had bought for me, which was much more colorful than anything I would buy for myself. At work that day i had a panic attack while talking to my supervisor, who wound up instructing me to 'breathe deeply' (she was very sympathetic about it- but it was still humiliating).

sometimes I wish that I felt aversion from others, instead of fear. Then I would avoid others by choice.
