Not all of these apply to me, but quite a few do. The one that hit me the hardest?

Social anxiety is staying in your dorm room during meals instead of braving the dining hall.

My entire freshman year. I ate the bad to-go food so that I could eat it in my room during lunch so that I wouldn't have to go up to the cafeteria. I went to dinner with my roommate if she was around, but other than that, it was always the to-go stuff. And on the weekends I seriously didn't leave the dorm except to grab food. Gah. I just had horrible flashbacks.

Social anxiety is crawling out of a window to avoid walking past your roommate sitting in the living room. THIS WAS DURING MY EXTREMELY BAD DEPRESSION PHASE.

Or pretending you're not home when people come to check on you to make sure you're okay. You know how Troy told Abed to pretend they were asleep? DONE THAT.
