Hello, I have been reading up on Situational Mutism (once called Selective Mutism). Much like when I first heard about Social Anxiety and Autism I am seeing a lot I can relate to in the description of this condition. I was often called "painfully shy" but often it wasn't just that. Sometimes I don't want to talk as an Introvert. Other times I want to but due to the people, place, situation, stresses and other factors I physically feel like I can't. Not just feeling a wee bit unable due to shyness. Although that happens also at times. I have been like this my whole life. I've never been the free flow chatty type thats for sure. Does anyone relate or know more about this?
