Just looked it up, and so far what I'm reading, this is totally me.

I'm talkative and normal behaving to my close relatives and friends, but I'm a shy brick when I have to talk extensively to stranger or someone I don't know. Either a hot girl, classmate, deliveryman, etc.

I'm not sure if it's a real disorder, or if I actually suffer from it, but it hits a bit too close.

I feel such like a puss.

While that might qualify for some super broad definition of selective mutism it doesnt really jive with the normal understanding of the disorder. Its usually based more on an environment than a specific type of person so using the example I gave above about a child only talking at home, that child would be completely comfortable talking to pretty much any stranger at home but be so extremely uncomfortable talking to that person outside of the home.
