I chose in the middle, although generally I vary from person to person. With people my own age, and people that I know well at school, I am a very confident person. I can generally talk to anyone in that category about anything, even embarassing or personal stuff sometimes. I'm not afraid to say what I think, even if it often gets me into bother.

Next in my confidence scale comes the internet. I would say I'm of average confident here, as I know that I can use my way with words to convey my opinions and feelings. However, I'm not a particularly trusting person. That's not to say that I am suspicious of everyone on this forum, but I make a point of not telling everything to everyone I have got to know during my time here. If, perhaps, the time comes when I have the opportunity to meet these people face to face, then I'm sure that this will be a different scenario, but I like to know people as people rather than words on a page before I can fully appreciate how trustworthy they are.

Then I would say that sometimes I am not as confident with people who are older than me and have some sort of authority. I am not exactly a shy person towards them, but I am quiet and reserved and will not go out of my way to crack a joke or burst into conversation; more likely I will speak when spoken to and remain smiling but serious, as I am quite a serious person underneath. I suppose that I really don't like the idea of making a bad impression of myself, so I tend not to be over-exuberant or loud!
