I read a lot of novels, and I often encounter characters that have social phobia (although the writers do not label it as such). This makes me think that the authors also experience social phobia, giving them such a keen insight.
The most vivid example to me is the character described in Fyodor Dostoyevski's short novel "Notes from the Underground." Many other of Dosoyevski's characters also have major social anxiety.
What do you think? Have you encountered any other social phobics in fiction?
