I scored identically, and my experience mirrors yours; it's amazing what a decade can do, and social skills can be learned like any other, which I suspect affected the score quite significantly. Yet, while my confidence in social situations has improved as a result, they still wear me down very quickly. And, teaching myself to recognize when I'm being paralyzed by social anxiety doesn't make pushing through it any easier, it just speeds the process up a bit. We humans are odd animals.
