missg8tordivr 0 #11 January 21, 2008 I have been told that I am stuck up because at first I am shy. I am not a big talker and have a hard time thinking up things to start a conversation....I guess it really depends on my mood too. I am a people watcher and like listening and laughing along with the group. When I have something to say, I will usually put my two cents in, but most of the time I keep my thoughts to myself......drinking usually increases the amount of blabber that comes out of my mouth. *** F LORIDA!

I tend to be more shy at the DZ because I am more conservative that anyone I know there. It's also one of the reasons I never stay for the party. The other of course being that I am raging drug addict in recovery which also causes me to be much more shy in general."If you don't like your job, you don't strike!

lawrocket 3 #14 January 21, 2008 "Shyness" is such a broad definition. Am I shy? Somewhat - partially because I am pretty damned self-aware. Only when I get comfortable in a situation do I act non-shy. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darktreader 0 #19 January 21, 2008 Quote I often play the shy game, to ward off the attentions of so many hot women...... it's a defense mechanism I use the same technique...lol No seriously, alot of people including myself are accused of being snobby due to initial shyness. The majority of the time it is level of comfort. If people dont know you, you dont want to display any actions or statements until you feel comfortable. First impressions are hard to change! It takes a bit of time to see how others in the area are acting and reacting to you. I usaully dont speak to anyone for a few days when I first go to new places, until I really feel out the people and place. I think its normal."Before we waste time talking and getting to know each other, let's just have sex once and see if we're compatible" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #20 January 22, 2008 I'm the same way too. I don't think anyone has ever called me the life of the party. I spent last weekend going though an old box of stuff from my childhood. I took a Sociology class in High School and the teacher had everyone fill out a questionaire on every student in the class. The comments could be anonymous so people would tell the truth. The point was for us to see that others may view us differntly than we see ourselves. Anyway, the comment that was written on 75% of the papers was that I was nice but too shy. My teacher wrote that he thought I was shy at first but had decided that I was just quiet. I'm more talkative one-on-one than in a group but I don't think I have really changed that much 20 years later.

chinagirl 0 #22 January 22, 2008 For me, I'm just afraid to offend people and I suck at initiating a conversation. I've always admired those that can strike up a conversation with a stranger and genuinely enjoy it.
