  • Avoid interacting or working on tasks by withdrawing, sleeping or hiding in the rest room.
  • Experience intense shyness, anxiety and low self-esteem when interacting on tasks with others.
  • Feel so unhappy attending that you regularly find ways to avoid school, classes or work.
  • Don’t trust your peers, teachers or colleagues and feel victimised by their words and actions.
  • Feel self conscious and somehow inferior to others around you at school or work.
  • Pretend that you are sick, nauseous or hurt so that you can avoid attending.
