What's your personal opinion on shy people?

Do you think of them as snobby or stuck-up? Awkward or weird? Do you think that it's annoying when people are shy and that they should try to put more of an effort in to be social? Or do you think that it's not their fault that they aren't very outgoing? Are you yourself shy?

Also, do you reach out to shy people and try to befriend them? Or do shy people just make you uncomfortable?

I'm just curious as to how shy people get viewed by others.

Jeez, I said shy people about thirty times in that. o:

Note: Because there is some confusion, I shall clarify the purpose of this topic: I'm not trying to categorize anyone. I myself am actually extremely, extremely shy. c: I was just wondering what your experiences are with somebody who is introverted and how you viewed/view that person. I certainly do not believe that quiet people are snobby or stuckup, and was not trying to imply that. I have, however, met people who I later found out thought I was stuckup because I didn't know what to say to them.

I try to be nice to shy people. If they get to know more outgoing people, they can become less shy :') It happened with me ^^;;

I tried to talk to this shy person and they freaked out at me. I was like
:me: "you look alot like my friend"
:him: "K!" loudly

I'm kind of like that
More awkward than shy
Well, is there a difference?
Basically, I just can't talk to kids my age. In third grade I could just fine, but it seems like after that I couldn't
I'm like "...So. What class do you have next?"
I can talk normally to my friends from elementary school though. And some others

I think that categorizing all shy people like you want us to do is wrong because not all shy people are stuck up and not all shy people are snobby and so on.

Oh, I see what you mean now tongue We can't categorize all of a certain kind of people as one thing. I'm sure there are snobby shy people, and I know shy people that are very kind. So I can't say that all shy people are this and that and I'm sure there are shy people that fall into each of those categories.

Also, sorry about the misunderstanding rodentqween9 tongue

I try to know them.

Daroach1 · 2011-12-09 19:12:31

Someone close this before IMMA FIRIN MY LAZOR. Seriously, categorizing us shy people is the most insane thing ever. There is minimal difference, same with LGBTs, so why waste your time categorizing us? mad

ImagineIt · 2011-12-09 20:04:40

I'm shy.

imnotbob · 2011-12-09 20:06:58

Do you think of them as snobby or stuck-up? No Awkward or weird? No, but they can be Do you think that it's annoying when people are shy and that they should try to put more of an effort in to be social? No, but I do wish they would let me talk to them. Or do you think that it's not their fault that they aren't very outgoing? It's not their fault Are you yourself shy? More or less.

soupoftomato · 2011-12-09 20:11:53

I'm pretty good friends with a shy girl. They aren't shy if you are friends with them.

She was crying because she got called worthless or something though. sad

No reason to treat shy people any less than other people, so I treat them just the same big_smile

I'm not trying to categorize anyone. I myself am actually extremely, extremely shy. c: I was just wondering what your experiences are with somebody who is introverted and how you viewed/view that person. I certainly do not believe that quiet people are snobby or stuckup, and was not trying to imply that. I have, however, met people who I later found out thought I was stuckup because I didn't know what to say to them. Maybe I should reword something in the original post?

I am not really that shy.
Only when I encounter an important person am I shy.
But in class and in school, I am outgoing, I guess.

Yeah, there's a pretty cool quote about that. "Quiet people notice everything, but they never get noticed."
