Ever been shy ?

[steve2470]

Just a curious question.

1. I'm always slow to warm up to people.

People I either dislike or don't know well think I'm shy, but I'm not at all when there's a comfort level. :D

3. I'm the same way nt

[ChaoticSilly]

15. I'm pretty much the same way

I'm pretty reserved & quiet until I start feeling comfortable around people. Sometimes it takes a pretty long time for me to get to that level, but once I do I usually live up to my name. :silly:

2. I am a shy person

I am nervous around people who I don't know. This lifted a little bit in college, but for the most part, people would say that I am a shy person.

4. You wouldn't believe how shy I am...

I even started a whole thread on this subject a few months ago...

[JohnKleeb]

5. You expect me to talk?

[Swede]

6. Being shy isn't easy.

Ill at ease,no shit.

7. I used to be when I was younger

but not anymore. If you don't like me for who I am then F U ;-)

20. Hey there, 17GOD,

:hi:

8. Introverted but not shy

anyone else feel the same?

[Technowitch]

9. Extremely so!

Though I may not always seem such.

[Left Is Write]

10. Yes.

People usually see me as gregarious and outgoing (and many point to my experience as a radio announcer as "proof"), but the reality is I'm a bit shy. Not very shy, but a bit shy. Sometimes I can approach people and just strike up a conversation, but other times, I just keep quiet.

11. I was an incredibly shy child

Now I'm very outspoken and confident (most of the time) and when I tell people that I was shy as a child - they laugh, they think I'm kidding. But I'm not; I even had a teacher tell my Mom that it was very disturbing that I never looked anyone in they eye. And I got "in trouble."

Hey LADY, (Mrs. Connors if you're out there) did ever occur to you that some kids are shy???

12. great one on one

but terribly shy in groups

[Penndems]

13. I was shy until I started working on political campaigns

Believe me, having some right-wing nutjob scream at you will bring you out of your shell in a New York minute.

[all.of.me]

14. painfully shy as a child!

amazing how beer made shyness go away in college!

but now, 30 years later, i don't drink much anymore, and i'm still shy around people i don't know and in groups. i'm fine one-on-one or with people i know.

in groups, i sometimes deal with it by being the clown.

[libodem]

16. yep, I'm pretty shy

self-conscience, easily embarrassed, but I'll strike up a conversation in a grocery line

[BiggJawn]

17. I've given up on being Shy.

Bitter and reclusive's where it's at!

[aQuArius]

18. Not shy, just easy to tease...

and I'll blush. I was NEVER shy, ask my mom.

[Ariana Celeste]

19. I'm antisocial.

A hermit.

I hate people, man, they freak me out. With their staring and questions. Especially when they ask questions. I hate questions.

You know, if I can't even look you in the face without turning redder than a tomato, you know, maybe I don't want you asking questions about my personal life.

When I do make friends, though, they are my life.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. I was terribly shy, quiet and awkward around other people, afraid to

make friends until I hit college. Then I turned 180 degrees. Now my friends don't believe that I was EVER shy. I can still be embarrassed very easily, and sometimes I don't get the joke, but shy? Not any more...

:hi:

[elshiva]

22. I'm shy all the time.

I am like Garrison Keillor a shy person, but I don't eat my Powdermilk Biscuits.

[Huckebein the Raven]

23. All the time

[deadparrot]

24. Yes, but only around people I don't know well.

Get me around friends, and you can't shut me up.
