Social libertarianism is the belief in social liberty, i.e., individual independence and communal autonomy from overarching government or state control.
Social libertarianism reject the concentration of decision-making authority into distant, oligarchical, centralized bureaucracies - federal or monolithic - favoring instead the diffusion and localization of that decision-making authority.
Social libertarianism supports a political, social, and economic environment which allows voluntary accession to associations, but also permits a person to choose to remain free of restraint by society, except in cases in which an individual's claim of freedom interferes with another individual's right to be free from unwarranted, aggressive coercion or harm.
Social libertarianism regards free-market capitalism and democratic, communalistic socialism as equally conducive economic means towards the ends of generalistic liberation from tyranny.
Murray Bookchin's support of decentralized, non-hierarchical communal autonomy, coupled with a belief in individual liberty, indicates that he and his adherents ascribe to social libertarianism.

Social anxiety is a psychiatric disorder that affects 13% of the population. It involves overwhelming anxiety and excessive self-consciousness in everyday social situations. People living with this condition have a persistent fear of being watched and criticized by others. They feel that others are constantly waiting for them to mess up, thus humiliating themselves by their own actions. It may interfere with their work, school, social life, and other activities. Social anxiety differs from shyness in that people with this disorder often avoid some social situations all-together. Physical symptoms of social anxiety include blushing, rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, muscle tension, shaky voice, and nausea.

A Day In The Life of a Person with Social Anxiety
Little Ed's teacher just informed his class they would have oral presentations due that Friday. This was on a Monday morning.The rest of the day Ed was shaking and cold, worring about Friday and having to give an oral speech to his classmates. All week he had been dreading this day, Friday. Friday had finally come and as Ed watched the others before him give their speeches, he was trembling and had muscle tension and nausea.When his turn came, his face turned bright red as he took center stage. All eyes were on him as he proceeded with his speech. All through the speech, his voice was shaky. Afterwards, everyone clapped and the teacher gave him praise. But, Little Ed couldn't stop worrying aout what everyone had thought of him when he had given his speech.

A social smoker is somebody who will only smoke in social situations. It's pretty self explanatory.
You can argue that there is two type of social smokers. 'A', being the one who bums cigarettes off other people at parties because they don't buy their own. Whether they are trying to fit in or not, who knows, but you have to wonder why they even bother.
The other type (B), would be the type of social smoker that enjoys the added buzz they get when drinking or smoking marijuana with friends. These social smokers buy their own cigarettes. They are people who smoke little cigarettes, so they enjoy one when chilling with friends that smoke a lot. They don't feel they need to smoke to fit in or be accepted, but do it not to be left out when their friends go outside.
Note that social smokers are far from being addicted to cigarettes. Its easy to tell if somebody is a social or a chain smoker. Social smokers know its bad for them (just like a chain smoker does) but they never feel the NEED for a smoke (minus the times they are drunk or high and want the added buzz)
Social Smoker A --
Joe : "Wooow! Here comes Craig looking to bum another cigarette."
Brad : "He is trying to fit in again."
Joe : "Well he isn't getting one of mine, frigging cheap ass."
Brad : "He gives true social smokers a bad name."
Joe : "Yeah he doesn't know what he is doing, if he isn't careful he will get addicted. At least Chad knows his stuff."
Social Smoker B
Joe : "Oh look here comes Chad!"
Brad : "Sweet, I was wondering when he was going to join us for a smoke."
Joe : "Same here, and unlike Craig he has his own."
Chad : "I had a feeling I'd find you guys out here."
Brad : "Haha you know it!"
Joe : "You finally decided to join us eh?"
Chad : "Well I haven't talked to you guys all night so I thought I'd come have a smoke, chat with you guys and to feel a better buzz"
Brad : Damn right Chad, thats the difference between you and Craig. You do it for the right reasons."
Chad : "Haha, yeah! Oh, and no worries, I have my own"
Joe : "Damn right buddy."
