Are you a SOCIAL BUTTERFLY? or a WALLFLOWER?

i think, keeping friends does not depends on whether you are a wallflower or a social butterfly... keeping the friendship alive depends on you & your friend and how you feel with each other...true friendship is always there, no matter who we are...as long as we are understanding each other... on my part, when i was younger, i also have difficulty in making new friends for i am quite shy and quite...i am not good in starting a conversation...and so i can say that i am a wallflower...haha actually i am always unnoticed! huh! but as i aged, i have learn to socialite, and to make conversations even to strangers...and whenever i am in one place or let say in a party, i always try my best to communicate with other people there, not to be popular or whatsoever, but just to meet new people and be with people... best strategy, i think is just be yourself and always wear a smile! now, i can say that i am becoming a social butterfly already...hehe anyway, i nede to be or i have to be... but you know, i just have few friends, and those few real friends that i have are those people that i meet when i was still a wallflower!

I think friends are for a life time...I've got a certain group of friends who I hang out with whenever possible, agreed that we don't get to spend much time together because of our other equally important errands but whenever we do get together, it is total bliss. I think the wallflower types need time to open up and yes I also agree that they are the silent types and rather shy. But those, you will find are the ones wise enough not to fraternise with any and all crowds and they keep their friendhips long and healthy, mainly because they strive for it and get to know another person well before becoming friendly. I'm personally a mix of both and don't mind fire-starting a conversation but i retrieve into my shell once I loose interest or stop communication altogether.

I can't understand where your interest lies. As you have opened this discussion, I would like to point out one thing. This has become a very big problem for me. I long to enjoy a little privacy. Where ever and when ever I am noticed by any one who has been associated with me some time or other, be it friends, relatives or any casual associates, they fly to me like flies and stick around like there is no tomorrow. I know it is bad manners to ask them to leave me free, but people should understand every one needs some privacy. Now with my online hobby I could stay away from people on the pretext of being busy on the net. A price you have to pay for being well mannered, generous and kind hearted. meapas.

i am the social butterfly most of the times and not the wallflower as i like to be the center of attention as i am the pretty flowers..hahaha :D Then, all the bees or gentlemen are all excited to see me rushing to be my date. Thus, i could say i am not the shy, introvert type. :D

I think I am both a social butterly and a wallflower.

I'm more of a wallflower. I think I'm a good friend, but I definitely have problems approaching people or getting in touch. I am not a shy person though, I just willingly choose to be alone. I usually associate myself with people who are mostly the same as I am...those who do not need to talk to each other or see each other constantly to remain friends. I think as long as you are genial and friendly, and be open to other people, you won't have a problem being left behind.

I'm not that sociable really. I was always a wallflower at discos when I was younger.

I am somewhat a wallflower but I don't think wallflowers are not fun to be with...since people will tell me that I am funny actually and can start a good humor when I close to the person I talk to. Actually I just reserved around the people I don't know well. Although I tend to agree with you that know how to start a conversation even with people who you don't know well will very benefit you in society and business in general, it's something which I can't do yet...I thrive and try to change now though!
