>There's this popular idea that socially anxious folks are just dying to be liked
Really? I've never come across that idea. If fact, in my experience 'social anxiety' is almost always driven by the fear of failure, not the ambition of uncertain success.
I would counter that the opposite of 'social anxiety' - 'social vanity' - is more indicative of a deep desire to be liked.
