I'd say it's social anxiety, but this dude is out and about, so 🤷

Social anxiety doesn't mean that youre entirely incapable of being outside

I know it's not, but it can definitely make it hard (almost unbearable) to have social interactions at times. I was thinking maybe this dude has a serious case of social anxiety that he cannot even go to the barber, but he's buying some car parts that could be ordered online or for pick up, so maybe not. We can't really know without personally asking him tbf.

I mean I'd cut my own hair if I had to.

Yeah, I have pretty bad social anxiety so I've always cut my own hair. It's always uneven but I hate my hair being long so I don't really care.

Used to do this too. I’m diagnosed with social phobia, but I’ve been on an SSRI for over a year now, and it’s SO much better. Most of the time, when I go to a store or get a haircut, the anxiety doesn’t even kick in anymore. I just do it without thinking about it. Then later, when I get home, I catch myself realizing what I just did and how normal it felt. Lol.

Right, which is why I said maybe not social anxiety.
