How shy are you?

[sammy]

I'm shy around people I don't know but once I get to know people I'm not shy at all

This but on a higher scale, I have to reallyyyyyyy know someone to be confident around them. I won't talk to someone I'm not familiar with unless they talk to me first, and even then it will be like 1-5 word answers.

Online i'm really confident because i don't really care what people think of me, because they don't know me and can't judge me, and that's why i like online life etc.

I'm fairly sociable in rl and I can just go up and say hello to a stranger.I was a lil shy back then but being actively involved in many activities including meeting new people boosted my confidence greatly .Plus,I just like meeting new people and having many new friends preferably outside of my college.Be more interesting and more fun to hang out with!

I suppose I'm just as confident as I am in rl and online

[MrPinkPanther]

I'm shy if I don't know anybody but otherwise I'm fairly confident with new and old people

I'm the same online as irl so not really shy and the people that know me would know

I'm not really shy in real life when it comes to asking someone for the time, or asking someone in a shop for help (all of my friends refuse to do that). I'm just wary of new people I meet in real life, if they don't look like my type of friend, I tend not to be the one starting the convo. In school I try not to be shy because if you're shy and don't talk people think they can take advantage, so if I don't feel like talking in a group I don't want to be in, I just sit there and my body language sends out all the right signals.
Online there isn't any shyness

Not shy

[Special]

i'm not shy what so ever, in fact i'm proably one of the most confident person in my group of friends

[Meanies]

the bigger the group, the less i'll say i don't have a problem with talking to people i don't know, its just like what can i say to them when i dont know them at all?! but then when we find something to talk about it's a completely different story. i prefer smaller groups of like 3/4 because then you like all talk together in the group, whereas if it was a bigger group of say 10, people tend to split off into smaller groups talking so you may as well be in a small group anyway. and when alcohols involved i'll talk to anyone at all like my 21 year old new friend called char who goes to uni and is going to live in hong kong with a friend for a year but was worried cus they dont like having sex til marriage and she was like omg i cant go a year without that and she didnt want people from uni knowing she smokes cus noneof them like it. soyeh not really that shy. used to be mega shy when i was younger though. spose my work makes me more confident aswell since i have to talk to like a million people a day

but online i just say anything and dont give a toss

Not really shy.
Depends who it is really.

Inconsistent. I can speak in public and to people I don't know (I tend to get along better with people older than me for some reason) but generally I prefer to sit with the people I know and don't branch out much more than that.

This is reflected online too - I prefer to read rather than post
