Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale

Before You Begin

This questionnaire looks at how social anxiety plays a part in your life across a range of situations. For each situation, answer two questions:

Fear or anxiety: how anxious or fearful you feel in that situation.
Avoidance: how often you avoid it.

If a situation is one you don't usually come across, imagine what it would be like if you were faced with it, then rate how much you would fear it and how often you would tend to avoid it.

Base your answers on the way each situation has affected you in the last week.
