I hate when people tell me I am in denial about having social anxiety.

First of all, I don't have social anxiety. I mean maybe I do with a trace of it in certain unusual circumstances and at some random events. Second, even if I do... and yeah maybe I do, it's hardly obvious. I'm pretty skillful at masking it so certainly no stranger let alone anyone who even knows me would know for sure. Yet still I keep getting told I have social anxiety and when I dispute it, I get told I am denying it.

I mean, yeah, I probably had social anxiety a long time ago... at least maybe I did. But it's not like the symptoms were pronounced or anything and certainly now, I manage it... I mean if I had it. Anyway, it's just annoying that people literally come out of the woodwork to tell me the same thing. And the worst part is the people who want to commiserate with me when they talk of having some degree of social anxiety. It seems like those are the people who are in denial. You either have it or you don't. And I don't. I don't know, I'm kind of worked up about this because it happened again today. I need to calm down.
