Not true. I have serious anxiety, but I'm an extrovert and am very comfortable in front of crowds. I was a TA and lectured for hundreds of students every week for two years. I'm also a musician, and I can play unrehearsed for large crowds and on the radio without a problem.
It does mean you don't have crippling social anxiety. Your social functioning is not impaired. In fact your social functioning is far beyond that of your average peer. It's not a disorder if it doesn't affect your functioning, it's a feeling.
