I'm really both. I'm shy in public, but I'm more times out-going.

Kinda the same here. I am quiet around people I don't know. But with my friends I am usualy more outgoing.

I'm only outgoing when I really know someone. My (somewhat) new friends laugh at me, becuase they remember how shy I used to be.

Both. It's hard for me to talk about myself.

It depends:

-I am naturally shy person... I mean extremely shy. Almost to the point of one of those social anxiety disorders. and when I say shy, I mean painfully shy, sometimes in public, I get very nervous, I start to sweat, my pupils dialate, and go into a panic attack.... Since that does run in my family, I have to force myself to do things in public. I could be a hermit (a few members of my family are).. and that scares me.

-I can also be very outgoing... only if I am preforming. I love to pretend to be a comedian and give shows (ex: dancing like Bill from the Cosby show, doing Steve Martin Wild and Crazy Guy, Monty Python skits....) But, I can only do this when I am preforming, never when I am being myself.... very complex, I don't even understand it!!!! Go figure....

I used to be very outgoing and not really care about meeting new people or giving presentations, but this year I've become somewhat shy, depending on the people I'm with and the situation. It comes and goes.

I'm shy around large groups of people I don't know well and outgoing around friends.

I'm super-quiet, so people always think I'm shy, but when I need to be, I can be pretty aggressive. Also, I'd like to say that being shy is a bit stigmatized - like it automatically makes you some kind of social idiot - but I think it's got its own appeal, and can even be kinda cute!

I'm really shy around people I don't know, but people I don't like or like a lot, I am very outgoing.

It depends on the atmosphere. When I'm around my friends I'm comfortable..so I'm usually pretty outgoing and maybe even a little crazy sometimes...specailly when I'm around this one girl...she rubs off on me. I act different when I'm around certain people.

On the other hand, I'm shy around people I don't know or people I'm just not comfortable around.

Overall, I'd say I'm much more shy than outgoing.

I'm pretty shy...always called the "quiet one", although I'm not as quiet as some people. Even when I'm around my best friends I don't talk too much...I prefer to listen.

I used to be very talkative and outgoing when I was little, but I think I found myself saying things that I didn't mean to or were embarassing. So I started thinking a little more before I said stuff and became very quiet.

I still don't mind too much getting up and talking or preforming in front of people. I'm always a little nervous at first, but it doesn't bother me too much. I prefer to have other people preforming with me, though.

It depends on the different situations..... when I'm around friends, I'm very outgoing; however, when I'm around people I don't know (or people I don't like), I'm very shy and quiet.

It mostly depends on the people I'm around, like Sumi said. Like, in some of my classes I'm extremely outgoing, especially when hanging out with my friends, and in other classes, I'm hardly even noticed at all. I don't mind going out on stage or doing presentations or whatever as long as I don't have to do it alone. If I'm by myself, I usually just start shaking and mumble the whole time.

yes that's how I am.I'm pretty outgoing and crazy around my friends and people I know well but on the other hand, in some of my classes at school people sometimes forget I'm even there!

I'm generally shy..but, really..I don't care about first impressions, or "behavior out in public" anymore, so I'd say I'm a lot more outgoing than I was, but I'm generally more Shy, at times.

It depends on the situation for me too. Most of the time I'm outgoing. However, when meeting someone new or something like that I can be shy. When I'm with my friends, though, I'm always outgoing because I pretty much don't care about being embarrassed around them.

I'm pretty shy myself in RL. I have been for the longest time. I think I've gotten better, though. I'm slightly more out-going these days, though I'm still pretty introverted. :yawn:

Dull answer. Probably more introverted these days. I'll happy play/perform/talk/entertain an audience. I have no problems about airing my views and I make friends easily. However, I don't like confortable in new enviroments or doing something I'm not used to or an expert in - plus my courtship skills seemed to be getting worse as I get older!

Probably more outgoing that shy in the long run though.....

My shyness sometimes gets to the point where I am absolutely crippled by it. I have no friends and I seldom bring myself to talk to beautiful women.

--I try to be outgoing and glib with strangers to conceal the shyness. Oddly enough it's easier for me to be "on" with a large crowd--in an intimate, one-on-one situation I'm pretty uneasy and bashful. That might appeal to some women who figure, "He's a real gentleman...never laid a hand on me." I'd rather be passive and let a woman have her way with me....

Not shy per se...I want to say something when I'm with a group of people, but there isn't always much to talk about. A lot of people don't really have anything interesting to say, but can still make a conversation out of it. I'm more conservative. I'd rather talk about something else other than how I got my latest shirt stain.

And when I'm feeling PRESSURED to say something, I get nervous. I hate being boxed into a corner.

So overall, I guess I'm arrogant/shy/nervous around large groups of people. I'm never any good at big family get-togethers. For me, three's a crowd. :yawn:

Grrr...I hate family get-togethers. If you don't feel like talking, everyone thinks you're sulking, AND you're expected to have something to talk about with each other, just because you happen to be related. I love my family, but honestly, I have absolutely nothing to say to them.

I know exactly what you're talking about. A lot of people don't have anything interesting to say, but they talk nonstop anyway...about things that aren't important or interesting to me in the slightest. I only talk around large groups of people when I've got something of importance to say. Sometimes people will comment on how I "never talk" in class at school. Whenever people make a big deal about it...it kind of gets on my nerves. If I have something to add to the conversation I'll say it. Being silent is a lot better then babbling about nothing. Sometimes the quiet ones are the most fasinating people you'll ever know. (I'm not saying I'M fasinating, but I know quiet people that are) I'm quiet when I'm around people that don't interest me at all and when I'm around people I don't like. When around people I don't like that much, I'm usually quiet simply because I'm trying to avoid saying anything rude to them. However, when I'm with my friends, that's a completely different story. I can be downright obnoxious and loud when around people I can relate to. :D

Meow, you've pretty much summed up the priority I'm in, really. It's quite frustrating sometimes, but overall, I think I prefer it to being extremely social. Then again, it's not like I would know what it's like...

Yea, so do I. If I was really popular, I'd have all these obligations to hang out with people all the time and go places I probably wouldn't even enjoy...um well going to. :p It'd be really annoying. I'm more of a loner. I do have friends but not a lot of them. I have a few really good friends and there are people at school that know who I am, but I'm anything BUT popular. Most girls never want to talk about things I care about it anyway. I dunno, I guess I'm kind of a weird girl. I'm not obsessed with guys and I don't LIKE shopping for clothes. I don't really fit in with most girls. I really couldn't be popular even if I tried. I'd have to change my personality and interests altogether.

On a side note, I actually FOUND another girl that was interested in the same kind of stuff I was. It was so cool. We'd talk about the dumbest things. I swear..I don't think I'd ever been more comfortable being myself than when I was around that girl. But guess what? She moved to another state....whoopie... Unbelieveable, I swear this girl would have been my new best friend if she hadn't moved. She was the coolest person I ever knew.

Anyways, I'm rambling... I'll shut-up now.

I am guessing you are about the same age as me. I was just reading what you typed above. You kinda sound like me. I get along more with boys than girls. This is proably why I am the weird girl in my school. I have always been more like a Tom boy. Just like you said,"I'm not obessed with guys and I don't like shopping for clothes." I do have friends who are girls but they are also the outta place girls. Maybe all the "weird gils should get together and start a majority! :D

I've been described as "mellow" which I chalk up in the shy catergory. Although, I am sometimes a happy go lucky idiot and like try to actually impress people very rarely. I am also sometimes very, very quiet to the point of making people nervous. I hate admiting things about myself. Why am I here?

I happen to like doing what I want to do, which is why I will be forever searching for a girlfriend that likes things I like. I don't ask for perfection, just similarities, but there is always a but. I get more girls to like me at work because I'm constantly drawing my comic books and recently when I added color, there have been girls flocking just to see it. But none of them are girlfriend material, they are all former In-crowd girls that I don't want to spend money on and don't want to really know.

Also, there's this thing with being African-American. Racism still exists in some form or another. People of outside races either expect black people to be the extreme stereotypical black like the kind they see on t.v., or Bryant Gumble. And with people thinking that, even other african-americans, then no wonder everyone has become so isolated in this world. All we need is teleportation from your home and refrigerators and ovens that replicate food.

I'd say in summary I am shy, but when I did have good friends I was pretty outgoing and they were not popular.
