Would you consider yourself shy? Do you think others consider you shy?

I'm not shy but I am reserved/introverted/sometimes awkward. I'm quiet, but people can get surprised by me when I have a reason to speak up or act out.

I'm usually quiet.
Some think it's a sign of snobbery and that doesn't bother me. I'll talk when I have something to say.
Shy? Possibly.

In a workshop with people who knew me, I said that I was shy. They all laughed and couldn't believe that I really did feel shy sometimes.

I'm not shy.

There are people who considers my indifference and dislike to do stuff as shyness.

I am both shy and introverted. I think others consider me aloof.

Yes, and it goes back to my childhood. My friends know about it, although I’m told now it looks more like reserve.

Yes I'm shy, I hate meeting new people and I'd rather just be in the back of the room where no one notices me.

I’m not shy at all, but I’m also not someone who draws attention to myself, either.

Im not entirely shy but there are times i am

That is my handle.

Nope, not at all..... but i can be deliberately insular.

Nah. Just gave up talking to people

Not even close
