Are you shy and introvert in real life?

JoeXP · 56-60, M
Very much so. I can be extrovert on line
JayneA · 41-45, F
Why should there be a difference in how you are on here to how you are in real life? You should always be true to yourself and be proud of who and what you are, regardless of what others think or say. xx
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@JayneA shyness thwarts you efforts
SW-User
@SpiritOfSoul that's not always true, Spirit. The effort is just not the same as with an extrovert
girlscumfirst · 51-55, M
Not normally, but I do have times when I am quite introvert, times when I'm by myself, letting my thoughts wander. In company I am usually outgoing, confident and exhibitionist!
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@girlscumfirst all parts should say intact
girlscumfirst · 51-55, M
@SpiritOfSoul ...and function as they should! 😈
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@girlscumfirst Yes of course,jokes aside

@RedFreckles nothing weird there. I used to be very shy when younger. I struggled but finally broke out of it.

Yes I am to both but I know that it's not "socially acceptable" so I do my best to make sure I'm going when I have to be. Thankfully my family and close friends who know me understand when I have to go and hide away from people after going through that. They give me my space and I usually get a few complements when I've gone out of my way to be social during an event.
lonelyloner · 31-35, F
a little in matter of meeting others
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@lonelyloner not a big weakness
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
Many face that when meeting new people

@Nat15 I do understand how one feels then

Very much so, the only difference from my kid and teen days is now I can talk to somebody in person if I really have to
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@SW-User I succeeded through sheer will power
SW-User
@SpiritOfSoul I think that's part of what got me through some of it, in 7th grade I actually spoke out loud for the 1st time in ages
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@SW-User Good. Gives you so much confidence
GJOFJ3 · 61-69, M
Not in the least.
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
So tough living in shyness
GJOFJ3 · 61-69, M
@SpiritOfSoul timid salesmen have skinny kids. LOL
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@GJOFJ3 laughoutloud!
manandwoman · 56-60
manandwoman · 56-60
@SpiritOfSoul gotta be alpha
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
May be! @manandwoman
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
Normal is fine
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
Tough to live feeling shy and an introvert
Quimliqer · 70-79, M
So right "A stranger is just a friend you have my met" Dale Carnegie
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@Quimliqer well said!
Good question. A little bit of both, but mostly an introvert.
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@shelikesher try shrugging it off
vetguy1991 · 51-55, M
Until I get to know someone
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@vetguy1991 that's so common with so many people.
Fishy · 36-40, F
More introverted than shy.
Fishy · 36-40, F
@SpiritOfSoul But I feel happy
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
Lacking in confidence isnt easy to cope with
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@Fishy Fine if youre happy with that
SW-User
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@SW-User Must be a pain
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
Tough living that way
SW-User
It’s okay. I hate being shy when meeting new people, but once you get to know me i’m loud. As for being introverted, i don’t mind it! I quite enjoy my alone time and am comfortable with it. @SpiritOfSoul
Unloved · 26-30, F
yes very shy.

@Unloved try breaking out of it
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
you can succeed
Sanderilla · 70-79, F
A bit but not as bad as I use to be
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@Sanderilla great to have worked yourself out of it
Atrevido1 · 61-69, M
A bit shy. If I need to I can push through it
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@Atrevido1 can be really painful living as a shy person.
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
Nice to know you're trying to get over it
Sagiri · 26-30, F
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@Sagiri Oh!
lilsnifferman · 31-35, M
Yeah I'm this way. 😶 I'm trying to be less shy, cause life sometimes is too difficult for people like me...
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
A big handicap
lilsnifferman · 31-35, M
@SpiritOfSoul Right! Life is painful sometimes... Especially if you see dumb people around who're seen as better than me in society, even if they're not good at all 😕
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
Ismiles001 · 61-69, M
Shy, but I have forced myself to not let it hamper me. I still have a harder time talking to one person than I do speaking to a room full of people.
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@Ismiles001 great.
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
Living in shyness in a big handicap
OKWTF2 · 51-55, M
somewhat, but my career choice is very much the opposite so it sort of offsets.
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
Tough living like a shy person or an introvert
OKWTF2 · 51-55, M
@SpiritOfSoul I reached that age where it isn't really shy, just don't share my business nor care all that much about anybody else's I think.
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@OKWTF2 good
It really depends on the setting. I am not if I know people or are comfortable in the environment. I can be if I don't really know people or the environment.

@WindOfAdolf Its an inherent weakness!

SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@WindOfAdolf I wasnt. I was merely trying to empathise
ToyMan · 56-60, M
A little bit. But I try to be conscious of that fact and work on it.
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
Glad you're working on it
ToyMan · 56-60, M
@SpiritOfSoul Thank you. :)
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
You're welcome @ToyMan
Beetlejuice68 · 56-60, M
No so much introverted, but I don’t tend to put myself forward and take risk most of the time.
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@Beetlejuice68 just the careful type
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
nice
RainBisou · F
not really. I have my moments when I want to be by myself. But like to be around people who are interesting.
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
alan20 · M
I used to be. Now I talk if I feel like it and don't if I don't!
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@alan20 Can be so painful
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@alan20 Good you got out of it
alan20 · M
@SpiritOfSoul What about yourself?
Raythedevil · 56-60, M
A little bit perhaps, but I get over it fairly quickly, but don't go out too much for other reasons.
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@Raythedevil good for you, Ray
ZaneExcalibur45 · 51-55, M
Most times no. If I am tired and in a bad mood yes. Not so much shy. I guess that is more of an attitude thing.
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@ZaneExcalibur45 good thing for you
SW-User
Yes, I always have been, though not so much at work
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@SW-User oh!
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
If youre getting along fine,no handicap
SW-User
@SpiritOfSoul bit late to worry about it
Kind of one big controversy. I am introverted but can be extroverted. Shy but sometimes outgoing. ☺ ☮
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@allsfinebime2 if youre okay with that,fine
dcsm42 · 70-79, M
I’m not wired to be shy...a love for people is in my list of life’s drives :) dc opps left out people:)
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@dcsm42 not weird,if you may
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@dcsm42 Surely a handicap not very easy to cope with
watchtires · M
Depends on the crowd or the subject. I don’t fit into every situation.
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@watchtires thats common to so many
MougyWolf · 36-40, M
Not really, I used to be.. I find that weed helps.
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@MougyWolf can be so painful
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
good you got out of it
MougyWolf · 36-40, M
@SpiritOfSoul and still can get shy at times, but I also try to remember that I too am a person who deserves just as well to be free to engage with the world as anybody else. I've struggled with self esteem and with my appearance most of my life, but am not so hung up on it in recent years.
waterman1005 · 56-60, M
Until I get to know you and then I'm not
waterman1005 · 56-60, M
@SpiritOfSoul weakness? 🤔
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@waterman1005 a kind of handicap
waterman1005 · 56-60, M
@SpiritOfSoul Ohhh ok
SW-User
SW-User
@SpiritOfSoul at times, yes
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@SW-User a handicap you need to fight out
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@SW-User You can get out of it
biclosetguy · 51-55, M
Painfully Introverted 😣
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
You too can
biclosetguy · 51-55, M
I force myself to do things well out of my comfort level and i try to suround myself with extroverts
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@biclosetguy Keep at it. One day you will break through the barrier
JRVanguard · 26-30, M
That doesn’t even begin to describe it
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@JRVanguard great
JRVanguard · 26-30, M
@SpiritOfSoul It’s really not but thank you
DownTheStreet · 56-60, M
It totally depends and isn't always predictable.
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@DownTheStreet as long as you don't feel handicapped, its fine
gurlwatcher22 · 61-69, M
Yes I am; kind of mellow and laid back.☺
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@gurlwatcher22 can be painful
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
But if you manage it well enough, no handicap
gurlwatcher22 · 61-69, M
It's worked well for me for the most part.
Footster · M
Depends on the situation
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@Footster never easy to cope with shyness
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
Or being an introvert
benhailin · 41-45, M
no im not.... 🤥
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
Never easy to live like an introvert
benhailin · 41-45, M
hmm i agree.. cos i am a bit in reality... that Pinocchio nose tells the story...
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@benhailin Understandable
gmatthewb · 51-55, M
Sometimes I am, depends upon who I'm around.
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@gmatthewb fair enough
kwood1 · 61-69, M
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
Tough coping with that
kwood1 · 61-69, M
@SpiritOfSoul it can be 😳
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@kwood1 i know how that feels
Scubaguy027 · 46-50, M
Not even close bud
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
So tough dealing with shyness
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
such a big handicap
Scubaguy027 · 46-50, M
@SpiritOfSoul I was but then I enlisted in the Navy and had some very... Unique conversations on shyness. Lol. "LISTEN UP FUCKBAGS you don't have to like it YOU just have to DO IT"

@Longpatrol90 such a big handicap
mkoz70 · 51-55, M
Yes, just try to hide it best I can when I need to
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
@mkoz70 its really an art to hide this. But some manage well
Byron8by7 · M
Shy, yes. Very shy.
SpiritOfSoul · 31-35, F
I have been through that phase earlier in life
Byron8by7 · M
@SpiritOfSoul

I am friendly and kind, but awkward when attracted to a woman. I have no "pre-romance" skills.
Raythedevil · 56-60, M
@Byron8by7 I know how that goes, can be so difficult.
