Every compulsive gambler I've ever known is high strung and very social. Look at JJGold for example in his videos, guy speaks a million miles a minute and looks like he's been sniffing lines and wired up.

Having studied psychology a good bit "social anxiety" IMHO is one of the most misdiagnosed and mistreated mental health issues. Introverts, depressive, and socially awkward people don't have social anxiety. If you have panic attacks, worst case scenario thinking, and your mind goes into fight or flight mode in benign social situations then you have social anxiety.
you don't "HAVE" 90% of mental illnesses
they are just a group of behaviors or symptoms that they group and categorize and "label" so that it's easier for clinicians to code, communicate to other clinicians, insurance companies ect.
for Social anxiety the DSM is as big on avoidance as it is on the reaction in a social or public setting.
it gives no real depth of insight on causation, intensity, prognosis, treatment outside of drugs.

Quick run to the mental doctor so he can prescribe you happy drugs seems to be the norm, Americans are mentally weak.
That seems to be the norm when people experience a little depression now. Medicate ASAP!! Probably the worse thing you can do when you can just get out of the house and exercise and release happy feeling endorphins naturally and daily.
I won't date a chick on mental happy meds. I don't trust them or the drugs they take over the long haul.
