I'm introverted until I make friends, and then I'm extroverted in my friend group, but generally introverted towards anyone else.... if that makes sense

I voted shy.

I'm shy at first to everyone, until I get comfortable; then not so much.

However, if I find I'm attracted to a man I will remain shy until he approaches me.

I'm so outgoing that I tend to make other people shy. It's almost obnoxious but I like being this way :D

I'm definitely quiet in a crowd of people I don't know. I tend to prefer small groups, and groups where I know at least one other person. So, I guess I'll vote that it takes me a little while to warm up.

Also, I don't do well when I'm the center of attention and public speaking is VERY difficult for me, although I'm always told that I do quite well when I have to speak in front of a group.

I wonder if many people who have labeled themselves shy are really just cautious. That is why they have no problem chatting with folks they know, to the point of talking-ears-off.


I used to be quiet around folks I didn't know BUT, taking improvisational classes and working at Ren Faire for 4 years changed that! If someone appears to be willing to chat when we make eye contact, I'll often try to find some simple comment to start the conversation. Folks love to talk about their adventures and sometimes all it takes is a little nudge. I do this at my current job and I have had the privilege of meeting many interesting people.

Ironically, it is people I know and am comfortable with that I am less likely to chat with. We already know each others stories.

this one is difficult for me to answer, I certainly dont consider myself shy or quiet...but I dont think that I am outgoing or loud either. I mean, I will be willing to pray at a bible study, say prayer for the meal, read the verses that bible study leader is asking someone to read etc, I am not affraid or embarrassed in any form to do that...but I am certainly not the life of a party either. (I hate to say it, but I am one of those people who can put you in your place quick with out ever raising my voice ....Jesus is helping me to keep silient and be slow to speak , have reign over my tongue) Shrugs, I dont know what I am.. I am just me :) I guess I would have to put outgoing...even though that doesnt really describe me either.

I can be both, but my natural tendency is to be an introvert. I think I've come out of my shell a lot, but it takes a Long time for people to get to know me. However, there are instances where I click with someone right away and they'd never guess that I'm shy. Also, when I'm in my element, like when I'm hiking, running, or biking, I can so easily talk to strangers and have a long conversations with them. I remember doing a five hour hike with a couple strangers I met on a trail and we even ended up having supper afterwards. NOt bad for an introverted girl, huh? lol.

In these forums, I think it took about 8 months before I started talking to people as though I knew them. I used to just post, without really intending to connect. Now, I'm a little more comfortable around here.

But for the most part, I'm a lot more reserved and quiet with people I don't want to let in my life. People at work has no idea about my personal life. I mean, not a thing other than I love hiking/climbing or what football team I cheer for. LOL. But I manage to have decent conversations with them. Does that mean I'm shy? Or just reserved.

I am reserved when meeting people, having grown up in a culture with very definite protocols governing human interactions. I have a "privacy fence" that I ask to be respected. I can chit-chat with complete strangers without feeling any shyness, but have personal boundaries for physical space-ie I DO NOT like to be hugged or kissed even on the cheek by people I do not know or am only acquaintenced with.

With familyand friends I am very out-going and affectionate.

It honestly all depends on the circumstances.
SOMETIMES, I can be extremely shy.
But other times, I can be very outgoing.

I mean, if I'm with a friend and they're introducing me to one of their friends, I'm shy. I don't talk.
If I'm with a group of my friends, I don't care who sees me. I'm very outgoing and when I'm outgoing, I'm usually meeting new people.
Um, let me see, if I'm alone and I want to meet new friends, I try to step out of my comfort zone and introduce myself. My senior year I went to a new school. WIthin a week, I gained 10 friends. Why? Because I started introducing myself.

I bet theres more circumstances but I'm really not thinking that much, haha.

I voted 'shy when meeting new people' But it really all depends on the situation. If the new person I am meeting is really outgoing and friendly, then it's alot easier for me to talk to that person and I'm more likely to joke, laugh and just make small talk.

But if the new person is quite, or just generally a more reserved person, then my shy side comes out, and I am more likely to talk softer, or not say much at all and it becomes harder for me to make small talk.

Around a group of people that I don't know, I am extremely shy. You usually will not hear one peep out of me.

Almost always outgoing, but occasionally shy around authority figures.

I can't say I'm shy as much as reserved. I'm the one that watches, listens and plots.

I've become rather quiet in the past few years. My husband is quite the talker and extrovert so I've taken a more quiet backseat. Sometimes he won't shut up (you know the type) so getting a word in is often difficult. I've learned to just listen and observe. You'd be surprised at what I discover about people just watching and listening!

more shy than outgoing... Im more of a person who scans the envirement, then enters when safe. i was super shy when I was a child.. cried when approached.. compared to that I am outgoing.. but not really. People say Im quiet untill they get to know me.. (we all get that).
I work around a few big mouths and hate it, they never shut uo ever, I know thier life story, all of it, even what they ate last night. I cant stand it, then they approch me and ask why I dont talk much. Well, its because they prolly want to know my business... if theyd only ask about me it would be ok, they assume im quiet but ask me about God and i will not be quiet,

It depends. I can be both depending on the situation. I've been called quiet and shy by one person and the next would say, "No she's not silly!"

I don't know if I consider myself either one. I can definitely be shy when around people I don't know, but I'd say I'm outgoing once I'm comfortable around them.
