Shy or outgoing?

Which one are you? Are you shy, or outgoing? And I know, most people are a mix of both, what I mean is which one are you more?

I'm a very shy person. I simply cannot talk to people I don't know, and tend to keep to myself and am very quiet. I HATE being so shy, and I'm really trying to become more outgoing, but my efforts are going very slowly and as of yet very little has changed.

I'm only shy around people I don't know...

Depends on my mood. Usually I'm pretty shy, but not as much so as some people I know.

I'm really shy even around people I know 😮 It sucks.

Meh, Im OK, except around girls I like and such, THATS a different story....

I think everyone is shy around people they don't know. I'm not sure if anyone here notices, but when you meet someone new, you feel like you always need to start the conversation. I try to be social around new people, but it's hard, because they seem to be shy. So maybe the shy people need to talk more so us social people don't feel uncomfortable.

I'm shy but i would love to be more confident. The only people i feel confident around are my family

I'm usualy shy around ppl I don't know that well, but once ppl get to know me I'm pretty out going

btw don't confuse (and tons of ppl do) being shy with being less confident.

I'm what you might call "not shy". I'm not outgoing, but i generally don't give a crap what other people think so i'm not shy around them.

Why would you care what other people think about you, especially people you dont know?

im definently outgoing ✅
i mean i can be shy at times, but 90% of the times im outgoing 😄

I'm kinda like mr.zero here. I'm not shy at all in fact I used to be very out going but I've learned thats it's generaly not worth my effort to be,so I'm not out going.

and I'm not shy around people because who cares any way really.

I'm quiet, but not because I'm shy, more because I don't really want to talk to most people. If I have something to say, I'll say it reguardless, but I don't go around talking to random people.

erm.........i'm better at one on one, and get quiet when theres a group of people and everybody is trying to get attention, i can't be bothered in that situation.

ME.....SHY....?....NEVER !

I suppose if you are confident and intelligent and reasonably good-looking and with a good imagination and a way with people then you will never be shy.

Some of these qualities are born in the person but some need to be encouraged and nurtured before you are able to always make the first move and before you can easily break into a closed conversation and make new friends.

Once you can do this...and all it takes is a bit of practice... you will find that your life will be much more rewarding and much more full of experience. If your shyness is holding you back then beat it by getting some self-confidence lessons.

( BUT...never be TOO pushy as this can be counterproductive too ).

Oh yes...and..like me...if you want to get ahead... you must be modest ! 😆 💃

I am totally out going... Hugs for every one 😄

Yeah...group hug, group hug ! group

I'm not shy unless I am in the big wide world. At home, school or work I am outgoing to an amount that surprises myself (I think I am over-compensating), but in the street, pub or club I run away from everyone.

(hugs SS)

Soon have something done about YOUR shyness...

assusimng it will be negative.so this contributes to me my shyness

Odd, because whenever I meet anyone I also assume that any impression they will get about me will be negative. That doesnt make my shy tho... far from it.

how does that work?i often feel crippled by how i think people perceive me
