Are you a people person or anti social? Why?

I am not a social person, I am not "anti" social, I just prefer to be alone for the most part or with just one or two people. Low self esteem...possibly...probably. *shrug* Anyway, I usually have to be dragged to social events...admittedly, once there I generally have a good time. Though sometimes, if left to my own devices, I will people-watch rather than interact with anyone. (Which is probably why I generally have a good time...because I am happy if I am talking to people and happy if I am not...lol). I don't know how anyone perceives that behavior. To be honest your post confuses me a little, though...why do you think people are stuck-up if they are "antisocial"? You say your behavior indicates to others that you are stuck-up...maybe the ones you are seeing as antisocial are just shy, too...? Anyway, Outgoing people...hmmm...depends...someone who seeks me out and visits with me is one thing...a gregarious, obnoxious person typically annoys me.

I can be both social and anti-social depending on my mood. I have had jobs where I've dealt with people all day and the last thing I wanted after work was to keep talking to people. Even some days when I'm feeling social and talkative, I go hibernate afterwards because I'm wanting to be on my own for awhile. I know allot of people like that. Then sometimes I'm just not interested in other peoples topic of conversation - so I may seem rude by not saying anything, or walk away and find another topic of conversation that is of interest. I'll be as polite as I can in doing so but it may offend some people. Sometimes people who are outgoing are not really interested in you, but more themselves - have you noticed that! The best rule of thumb is not to judge a person by first impressions, most often you do not really see the real person, just their mask that gets them through another day. This is very common, so much so that I see people everywhere not showing their true selves.

I consider myself a loner and am often unsocial, but I wouldn't call myself anti-social. Anti-social people are the type of people who like to scam and hurt others and society in general. They're the type of people that like to shoplift and steal or just use people in general. OK, enough with the semantics, I don't mean to offend. I get the same reaction that you do in regards to being shy. I am generally a friendly person, but I don't like to reach out to people and I don't warm up to people right away. People often mistake this for being rude and cold. Sometimes, if a person comes on really strong, I get turned off.

I'm more of a people person than that of an anti-social, as long as I know that I could get along with them.. There are times when I do become anti-social though, whenever I feel depressed and/or emotional. Sometimes people tend to stick ONLY to their own kind, for the thought of them being ignored and maltreated by the majority.

You are to outgoing. More than I am at least. lol
