shy or outgoing?

[Seikou]

would you be more of a shy person or an outgoing person?

i'd say i'm quite shy because i don't have much confidence and i get really nervous infront of big crowds, but if i'm surrounded by a group of people i know, i'm really loud and quite outgoing

[Munex]

I used to be really outgoing, started to calm down a bit in recent years. Definitely less outgoing in front of older people; I'm best with people my own age.

[lawrawrrr]

I'm really shy around new (irl) people, but i get realllyyyy outgoing when I know them, and online!! A few months back I was really shy all the time because my whole world sorta crumbled but i'm bringing it back!!

[MKR&*42]

More likely shy, but purely because I just naturally dislike people and I'm generally not looking to go out and chat often lol. I suppose shy then.

[BeanEgg]

I used to be really shy, but now I'm a lot more confident, I wouldn't say I'm outgoing, but near enough!

[Samantha]

I'm shy, I mean I am more natural when I'm used to someone but if I'm not I'm just nervous on what to say or do and not sure what's right and wrong. lmao.

[orientalframe?]

i'd say in the middle, but i'm more or less shy :$

[buttons]

neither? lol i'm not shy just not very confident and don't like attention being on me. i will talk to anyone/everyone but never make the first 'move', i usually talk when spoken to or i'll make small talk if i see someone i know in the street or something.. i don't go out my way to go to social events unless i feel like it. i think if i had more self confidence i probably would be more outgoing and do stuff instead of just dream of it.. :D
oh but if i see a random person with something that interests me (maybe a manga i like or someone with great hair) i might talk to them about it depending how i feel or just make a fleeting comment :P

[Shar]

I used to be really shy and I still somewhat am but nowadays I'm more in the middle but it depends really. I'd rather go unnoticed than have a lot of attention

[Hollie]

i'm really shy around anyone unless i know the person quite well, and then i go really loud/chatty and outgoing.

[Empired]

I get really outgoing when I'm nervous which is weird 'cause I think it's the opposite for most people. I worry that if I don't say enough they will think I'm antisocial or just plain rude, but by being so loud I think people get intimidated by me when actually I am more afraid of them!

I'm very shy around friends of my friends because it's so awkward and I have no idea what to say because my friend would be putting so much pressure on me to like the other person :(

I'm a mixture of both, then, depending on who I'm with.

[FlyingJesus]

Bit of both idk, depends on the situation, the people, and whether I'm having a "good day" or not really. Too many factors to simple say one or the other

[dbgtz]

Used to be shy, not so much anymore. Not outgoing though either, though it's likely to change when I'm 18. I'm neither.

[-Amyy]

Im reaaallyyyy shy, quiet and self-conscious irl. I get extremely embarrassed over the tiniest things and don't really talk to new people :$

[Neversoft]

I think more than shy, I'm reserved. I dislike crowds and don't care for large gatherings or mass involvement. I prefer to be with one person or a small group of people. I don't like being the center of attention and would rather go to a friends house than some 'social event'. Grimes posted on twitter "my best friends are my friends who I can sit beside and we can all paint and talk and that's the party" and that's very much me all over. I'm fairly confident when I'm with friends, I'd jump straight into karaoke or dancing or something like that and don't need to get a bit tipsy to enjoy myself, but my confidence is pretty much non-existent when I'm by myself and I don't make an effort to talk to anyone. Guess I have dependency issues.

[Succubus]

In the middle, if it's someone I know I'm generally out going but if I were to be with some one new I'd be a little less crazed then I usually am and be more shy because I don't know what they are like or how they would respond to me.
Joining clubs is another one, I'm scared of joining because of other people but if I was with a mate I'd be fine.

[Richie]

I don't really know. I suppose shy but when I think of shy I think super scared or just always nervous and that's not me. It depends of the situation really. I am somewhat like neversoft but I don't gather with friends to paint pictures :P, Most of the time I prefer my own company.

[AlexHenry]

I'm super shy until I get to know someone. I avoid big groups and large crowds especially!

[Ekelektra]

I'm veeeeery shy most of the time, but I'm getting better because I try talking to people at school instead of just being silent.

But I'm very chatty around friends!

[Matt]

I'm really shy too lol. Especially infront of other peers. I only become outgoing with the people i get to know well and am comfortable being around. Public Speaking kills me, It's the end of the world when i have to do it. But at work I'm more comfortable with people because I only see them once a week (and they live no where near where i live or go to school). But yeah, school assemblies etc, i hate so much.

[Sloths]

Shy, used to be so shy in like year 1+2 that I wouldn't talk! I'm getting more confident now but I'm still really shy around new people or like older people. Although in my group I'm like the loudest one singing and dancing and whatnot, once I know people well and like them I don't shut up :P Getting better at public speaking too

[wixard]

bitta both but someone said something about being outgoing when nervous, i do that too
then people mistake me for being very/over confident

[Special]

if i don't know the person at all then i find it hard to get a convosation going but after a few drinks i'll talk to anyone lol

[Ed.]

I'd say that I definitely used to be shy but I've become a lot more outgoing recently.

[Jurv]

i'm quite shy with people i've never spoke to before and i find it really hard to start a conversation with someone if i don't feel we have anything in common. like i said in another thread, i prefer sticking with certain friends and i'll try my best to avoid making conversations with someone who i don't like or i've never spoke to before (unless they look like someone who i would be friends with). so yeah, i guess i'm the same as quite a few people in this thread. the more i know someone the more outgoing i am.

[GirlNextDoor15]

Both.

[Paige.]

outgoing

[Eric]

outgoing i guess. i'm actually a gregarious person irl but i always suck in starting a conversation. im always waiting for somebody to talk to me but i really like making new friends. it's fun and that feeling is just great but i guess im still not confident enough.

[geo]

In the middle reallyyy. I'm really shy with new people and probably would avoid conversation unless I found we had something in common. When I get to know people I usually will just act happy and talkative, that's what they'd want really. I don't try to meet new friends yet (seems silly really with the amount I complain about my current 'friends :rolleyes:) but I think I'll work on my confidence in the future so I'm able to get to meet new people that may actually like the real me. I avoid big social gatherings because I know I'd be a mess and end up not talking at all, so yeah, I guess I'm more shy in most circumstances. :P

[The Don]

outgoing.

i imagine most people here are shy though

[Inseriousity.]

I suppose shy is the wrong word for me. Because I don't mind my own company and don't mind if I don't have an entourage of friends with me (which some people crave or need), it means I'm often not too fussed about socialising and can be quite anti-social. This means that most people tend to give up even trying cos while I'm not rude or anything, I generally don't give too much away about myself. I don't think shy would work though because I can be outgoing. Because I don't have a dependance on making friends, I can be blunt and honest with people in a way no shy person would dare to do so yeah. Not shy, just anti-social haha.

[SackRace]

I'm in the middle really, a bit shy and a bit out going.

[CreatureOfNight]

I'm quite shy actually. When I'm with my friends in real life, I'm a little bit outgoing with them, but I'm still really quiet. lol I guess I'm just a quiet person. People told me that in High school too, that I'm really nice, but quiet and shy. lol Which I don't find it a bad thing at all. :) But then when I'm on the internet, because I'm not really physically present with anyone, I'm all outgoing. lol :)

[Zak]

I'm shy but i try and mask it.

I usually get around my shyness by talking consistently :P

[DPS]

Alot of people see me as rather an outgoing person.
But i see myself as shy, i just talk to make it look like im not shy? if that works lol

[ickles]

I'd say I'm only shy with people I don't know well, other than that I'm pretty loud;3

[Criticize]

i'm shy at first but become annoying and outgoing when i get used to the person

[BOOMitsGINA]

would you be more of a shy person or an outgoing person?

i'd say i'm quite shy because i don't have much confidence and i get really nervous infront of big crowds, but if i'm surrounded by a group of people i know, i'm really loud and quite outgoing

Exactly the same as me but I guess I could say I have improved on my confidence as I am starting to not get as nervous infront of big crowds now :)

[Tom]

For me, it depends on the situation. If it's someone I'm just going to see once I'm fine and not really shy. If it's someone I'm going to see for a few years I'd be a little shy but try to get to know them. If it's someone I 'like' then I'd be pretty shy and feel awkward, not knowing what to say :P

[kitten]

i'm a very shy and quiet person really, not outgoing at all, i never really have been. i'm mostly my own company and i guess i don't mind that at all sometimes.

[garriet]

i'd say i was shy, i don't have much confidence really, and with my friends i'm still a bit quiet and stuff!!

[Dean]

I'm really outgoing but that's probably thanks to my job

[peteyt]

I'm quite shy but yeah once you get to know me you won't be able to get me to shut up

[Fifty-Six]

i'm fairly shy around new people but i'm a bit crazy with my friends :P
