Not a fraud at all -- there is a wide range of ME and while I am glad yours is not the most severe form, it is something to deal with. And your attitude and proactive stance to mitigate stress are factors that clearly lessen the frequency and intensity of your bouts.

Sue, I too have social anxiety. When I have a clear role to play, such as work, or reaching out to others who appear uncomfortable, etc., I a m fine. But purely social situations with unknown people create terrible anxiety borne from years of mom's abuse and that of my peers. And they wonder why no one wants to attend our high school reunions??!!! If I run across one of them, they act all sweetness and don't remember their cruelty at all. Or so they seem. They know my life is good, and that's enough for me.

Animals are good judges of character. You have chosen well, Sue, and you are dearly loved here.💗💗💗💗💗
