Are you a people person, warm and friendly easy to talk to, or do you shy away from people, and tend to be an introvert?? i find I am a little of both depending on the situation.

I always thought i was very outgoing till i moved to drum and i notice i got really shy around people here. I guess its just being everything is knew to me here.

maybe you need some time adjusting to your environment. you'll probably get used to it and be able to talk to everyone again in time. i'd probably be shy if i'd move to a new place cause i've been in this house for 25 years!

umm...lets see...depends on the situation. if someone is nice to me, im nice to them. i dont usually talk to people i dont know very often, but once in awhile i do. once i start talking, i dont shut up!! but all in all, im NOT a people person. id rather have a couple close friends that i can trust, than a ton of friends that are more like acquaintances.

Im very shy and insecure and I always wait for other people to come and talk to me. I hate that i am that way and wish I could be more outgoing but it's very hard for me!

I used to be like this, but I think having kids helped me come out of my shell a little bit, getting myself out there, meeting other moms around me helped.

I take a little time to get started with strangers, but once I do then it's fine. I'm more of an extrovert at large. I enjoy company:)

It depends on the situation I am in. I am in no way the life of the party. In a social gathering I am shy. When I go to work I find it much easier to talk to people though. You know, one of the most common things people put on their resume is "people person".

i'm not really the type of person who shakes hands with everyone like a congresswoman in a party. but it's true for me that i find it easier to socialize inside the workplace than in parties. i guess it's because they expect you to socialize more in parties and that thought maybe freaks me out.

I try to be I am friendly and nice and caring, I have good traits but I am very shy for some reason I can hardly approach people I avoid it but if they approach me I'll be fine and chatty.

I am most definitely not a people person. I'm not shy, but I have serious trust issues and I'm not very talkative until I actually get to know the person.

I am not a huge people person. I am very shy in real life therefore tend to shy away from people.

Im an extrovert type, so yah, I would say I'm a people-person. I love meeting new faces, interested in different personalities.

I am really a very shy person, until I get to know you. But even then I am the type of person that would rather stay home with my family and have a few of my our close friends over for dinner and a movie or something. I enjoy watching my husband and his friends play video games, but I do not want to play them. I like to just watch people...
