How shy are you?

[Chilli]

It really depends on the situation.
If I'm around people who I know I don't have barely anything in common with, then I avoid interacting with people. I hate awkward conversations. If I do find myself talking to complete strangers, I'm pretty good at faking like I'm comfortable.
At the skatepark or at local concerts, I'm not the least bit shy, though. :]

I'm an extremely shy person, much more so in person than on the internet, but I'm pretty shy on the internet too.

In person I'm usually pretty shy and it takes me a bit to feel comfortable with most people. On the internet I can be somewhat shy but not usually.

EXTREMLY shy, to the point that it severly hinders my life.

To all you shy folks, don't be afraid. Come to a Pet Talk gathering sometime, and I will be sure to talk to you - I have always found shy people a bit of a personal challenge, and have made many friends (including my best friend and husband - Paul) by getting to know shy folks. I am not afraid of much of anything - even when I probably should be. I guess I just didn't get that gene at all!

Outside of my online life, I'm shy to the point of being nearly anti-social. I honestly don't know how I ended up with so many friends, lol. When I'm out and about, I can't help but to feel small, insignificant, and extremely self-concious, but on PT all that seems to go away. On PT I really feel at home, and I feel like I can turn to you guys and trust you with ANYTHING, which is something I can't really do with people in person.

I'm VERY shy in person. If I get to know you then I'll talk your head off but at first it'll take me quite a while to get to talking.

On the internet, I'm the biggest blabbermouth there is. I'm sure you've noticed by my 8,070 posts.

That's so kind of you Karen I wish I could go to the PT gatherings, but there is never any within decent driving distance for me lol. I said I am in the middle. If the new person I try to talk to isn't shy then I'm not either, if I have something in common with someone new then I'm not shy. But if the new person is extremely shy with me then I am usually shy with them as well.
