Are you shy or outgoing?

I wish that my shyness was more obvious. If an outgoing person tries to talk to me, I can usually mirror them so they can't tell, but inside I feel really awkward and uncomfortable. I just find an excuse to leave as quickly as possible. Sometimes I have to over-exaggurate my shyness, which I hate having to do, to make sure that people who I don't know notice it.

Shy? No.
Quiet? Yes.

I'm extremely shy and anti-social, but I have a large amount of friends. How the fuck does this happen to me all the time?

I'm a shy person but my friends laugh at the idea I could be shy.

It depends. In theater class I was always really outgoing and brash but if I didn't enjoy doing something then I was very reserved and quiet.

Im loud, outgoing and layed back.
we were on holiday last year and my brothers are rather shy around strangers so when we seen a group of teenager's at sitting on the wall I was the one who went up and started talking to them while my brohers looked at me as if I grew a 2nd head, we are good freinds now.
My mam says I have a style all of my own and she dont know ware I got it from because all of my family are shy exept 1 of my cousins, I dont get it though they are verry self conscious ware as im out going and dont give a fuck what people think of me.
I think im adopted but my twin brother and I are pretty much identical.

Lol so im out going and make freinds easy. I also talk alot

I was the smartest in my class at school , had zero athletic ability, played the violin and piano, was very good in art class, had a weird accent and unfashionable clothes from another country, a tomboy, bad home haircut and had no friends. I was bullied quite badly. It made me fearfully shy and underconfident socially.
However, when I went to college, people appreciated all the things that the kids hated at school. I learned how to groom well, I had become tall and slim, I wore stylish clothes, gained confidence and found a person inside of me that I didn't know existed: funny, outgoing, popular, attractive to the opposite sex. I'm very confident and always end up being the leader when I work in teams.
That said, a part of that sad, lonely freak that I was a a girl still lurks inside somewhere. Every now and then it surfaces.

When somebody says quiet, ppl look at me. I'm really quiet but I'm NOT shy. I can go on killing rampages sometimes.

I hate being so shy, I'm glad for the internet and sites like this because I feel uninhibited. :)

i have my computer

I'm painfully shy. I have, like, 1 friend IRL. The rest of my friends are online only. I don't really care to try to become more outgoing, though...I like my alone time too much, and it's bad enough having to share my time with one human being.

I dont have any friends at all. Its because I am a huge troll and not only spend my days trolling the internet, I troll in real life as well.

I'm shy, and it takes me a while to get out of my shell, but I still have a good amount of friends (:

Im outgoing only if i know that no one can make fun of me. So like at school no one will question me.

I can be the most confident person on stage with a script, talking to someone off stage, thats a different matter. I have to think for myself.

I'm shy. I only break out of my shell with guys mainly. Don't really get on with other women. Only a few close friends.

You can be outgoing and have a million friends as long you know that most of them are not really going to be there for you when you need them.

Im a people person

I'm shy till I get to know people, then I'm often obnoxiously outgoing. I often rely on others to break the ice, so sometimes it's pretty hard to make friends, especially in pretty big classes of 100+. It just feels so weird to talk to people I don't know, but when I had a job, I could do it without any problems whatsoever.

Oddly enough I've been through all of these stages. But anyhow I'll just put it this way:

Overall I am a shy person. When I am in a predicament where I have to talk, I'll act out on my nerves, giving the illusion that I'm not really shy. Once I consider you a close friend to me then I'm no longer shy.
I talk to a lot of people at my new school but these people aren't my friends. So therefore this gives another illusion that I'm popular but in reality I'm not. None of my friends go to my new school and there is a decent amount of them that I'm happy with. I'm trying to acquire new friends at my current school but I don't want to be popular.

I'm outgoing as hell, and popular, but I don't like anyone really so I don't have many people I'd honestly call friends.
