I am a sort of shy person who won't take the initiate to speak to someone. However, I respond well and make an effort to carry the conversation forward. Its just a sort of starting trouble with me.. once I get going I am on a trot.
Are you shy , just one on one person? Are you often lost for words?
Do you find it difficult to speak to others? Are you outgoing and fun loving..
what kind of a [person are you?

I am not shy at all. They call me the live wire at parties. They call me not I

@allknowing That is good to hear. Which quality of yours attracts people - if you don't mind answering?

@sofssu When there is pin drop silence I will break that by suggesting 'How about some medleys" (lol)

@sofssu ..it is much too complex. I was always in hostels. Was not familiar with regular homes, and customs. Therefore, it became difficult for me to adjust. I am not sure whether I am dressed well, I am not sure what I am supposed to talk, and though I have heard many people talking and can do something similar, there are many things that make me feel why. For example, I know some people who do not like others, but they still invite them over. They "act" nice, and that shocks me. They at times go about being nasty. That also shocks me. At times others are nasty to me for no good reason. That of course gets me angry, and when the opportunity arises, I give them back. But on the whole, I am not comfortable with the hypocrisy.

@LadyDuckAmazingly I can do public speaking, can you believe it. I did have to overcome my fears for years.. but now that I do it I am comfortable. The subjects are my favorites so I am confident there. Yet, like you I am shy with unknown people.

I'm a bit similar to you, sometimes struggle to start a conversation... but okay once I get going.. I am not fond of crowds or parties, and am not very outgoing... but I can be confident and assertive... a bit of a mixture really lol's

@sueznewz2 Ican taoitally relate to that .. I am that too.. both assertive when I need to be and shy too . I laugh and enjoy myself once I am comfortable. Sounds confused though , I guess.

I'm shy at first but when I get totally comfortable with the person I tend to be the opposite :-)

@sofssu During group situations I'm usually more of a listener than of a talker. And I usually talk to the person next to me. How about you?
