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.

That is my handle.

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

Nah. Just gave up talking to people

Not even close
