How shy are you?

[kittycats_delight]

I don't know the meaning of shy. I am actually very outspoken and rather bold. I am rarely at a loss for words no matter what the situation. I am usually always the one to make some type of wisecrack to lighten the mood and loosen people up.

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.

I have to second this one lol I CANNOT start a conversation, I lack the skill completly, even on the internet, you have no idea how many topics I have started and gave up trying lol. but once a person gets me talking..dont expect me to shut up lol. the thing with me is that I am friendly...but shy to the extremes. combined with that, I am not even remotly like other people my age. so every other 19 year old girl is taking about boys and shopping etc.. I HATE shopping, and could not care less about dating. so...I am friends with quiet a few people in their 40's and up...but friends my age? none. I have plenty of aquaintences my age lol but no actual friends aside from my brothers Fiance..and she's not my age either(3 years younger) lol, I actually have quite a social life with people old eneugh to be my parents

I'm not sure what made me come out of my shell. I suppose it's when Kiara was missing. I talked to SO many strangers. SO many people that I probably wouldn't have talked to usually. Since then, I have been rather confident when meeting people for the first time.

I met 4 new people today and I was totally confident in myself and was able to have a great time because of it. I'm actually very proud of myself for becoming so confident in social environments. Before I'd get incredibly nervous with the thought of meeting with someone new.


Had you asked me the same question about a year ago, I would have said "Shy in person but fine on the internet."

I think it's just me. My mom was also really really shy though, but I think it's more just me. I'm really self conscious and afraid people are going to judge me and not like me, so I guess that's why I don't really open up to people at first.
