very shy around people i dont know intimally...but, among friends, i'm one of the craziest...but being shy has its good points sometimes, years ago, lots of the most beautiful outgoing girls at school would start convos with me, i think most of them have a kinda "enchantment"(sp?) with shy guys 😛 though being too shy brings lots of problems...
I'm usually pretty outgoing, especially around my friends...When I'm meeting someone new, I'm pretty outgoing around them, too...unless (this may sound corny) they give out a bad "vibe" or whatever...Eh, you know what I'm talking about...But usually, I just walk up to a random person, poke them (that's my thing...I don't say hi, I poke...don't ask haha), and start talking to them...I made a bunch of my close friends that way. The only problem with that is that I sometimes forget to say "Hi, my name is ____" and they never find out my name. 😂 For example, two of my friends who I met at the beginning of this year (by poking and talking) just found out my name last week. 😆 Sad, I know. That's the same reason why I usually don't know anyone's name, either, though. 🤨

I try to act like I don't care what people think about me, but it really bothers me a lot. It's really hard for me, I have pretty low self-esteem and not that much confidence in myself...
I am very much the same...people are always putting me down so i have a very low self esteem and pretty much no self confidence...
I'm kind of both. I'm very willing to look someone in the eye, smile, and try to get a response out of them. I'll open doors, say thanks, all the "polite" things to do that would get me a response...and I make friends quite easily.
But I'm shy when it comes to approaching random girls at bars and stuff. 😮 Kind of a good thing now, since i have a girlfriend, but when i was single....it sucked.
I am very shy, I have Social Phobia/Anxiety. So I am a Sociophobe. I was on medicine for it, but in my opinion, it didn't help me at all. That same pill that I was taking for anxiety, I was also taking it for depression, so yeah, I have it bad. I also have Crohn's Disease, which also gives me stomachs pains when it is active and those stomach pains are similar to the stomach pains i get from symptoms related to my Social Phobia/Anxiety.
