It's just a question I'm curious about, and I hope to have honest answers.

I admit that I am Sorta shy, but just in certain situations.

Once I'm within a comfort zone (ie, work, forums, home, surf club), I'm fine. Outside of my comfort zone, I'm very very quiet.

At least I'm growing out of it a little, I used to barely talk.

Depends. I'm shy around the first day of school or anything that's on the first day. After that, then I'm not shy anymore.

I have that comfort zone thingy too. It's at home, and work (and whereever I'm drunk. ). Well, it used to be at work, but now the people I liked to talk to have all left. I've been thinking about doing the same, if only I could find something better.

So, yeah, I'm definately a shy person.

Yes, I can get pretty shy. I think I was worse as a kid, but I went to a small elementary school, so I got to know everybody. Being at school is fine, and having to speak to other students I don't know doesn't bother me anymore, but I'm not an outgoing person or anything. Other situations freak me out. I'm definitely shy around people older than me.
I hate being around large groups of people I don't know, unless I have friends around to distract myself with. Otherwise I'm very nervous.
Lots of people say I speak too softly. I guess that's related, even though half the time I'm not nervous and thought I'm speaking like a normal person. I hate that.

I'm not exactly "shy", but just a quiet person. For example, in classes at school I hardly speak up, or talk out loud unless I have to. I don't know why, it's just like I don't care to.

But once I get to know somebody, I'm not quiet at all.

I do get really nervous around new settings, like I was when I first got my job. I looked up to some of the people like my Assistant Manager, and stuff, but now that I've been working there for 2 months and have gotten to know everyone better, they're just like regular friends to me (for the most part).

As for girls, they never want to talk to me. =\

That's pretty much how I am too. I guess I can be a little shy on top of all that, but I'm growing out of it a little. I remember when I wouldn't talk to anyone if I didn't know them.. I'd just look away or something. I've grown a lot in the last year with my confidence.

I don't speak unless I need to ask a question, someone asks me a question, or I have something to say that I feel person I'm talking to will care about. Otherwise, i'm as quiet as a mouse...

so, i guess i'm not alone in feeling that i never have anything good to say?

But what makes you shy? There's usually a reason why people are shy, unless you're just.. born with it?
I think for me, I'm self conscious of my looks and my voice. Though none of you will ever hear it.

I'm pretty shy, I don't really like big crowds. I prefer to stay out of the way, and not get noticed as much. I makes things easier and simpler.

I used to be like that. Then I realized we're all idiots for talking anyways so it all evened out.

But it still depends...I mean I'd be one of those people that would rather listen in on a conversation rather than be the center of attention in it.

I'm kind of the same way. So basically I'm more the "listener" than the "talker".

Really though, there's been a lot of times in conversations / arguements where I probably should have spoke my mind, but sometimes I just don't and think "I don't care to say anything".

I'm not very shy. I mean I get shy sometimes, like most people do, but I don't have any problem being with people I don't know or talking to lots of people or stuff like that.
I get very shy when people say good stuff about me though, but I dunno if that counts.

I'm like that too. I've gotten a little better with my shyness. I think Im shy because Im worried about saying something wrong or people making fun of me even though that hasn't happened so I have nothing to be scared of. I have comfort zones but I think almost everyone does now I have to start all over with school and I know I'll be quiet on the first day unless someone talks to me or something like that but I need to try to get passed my shyness.

Is this thread layout messed up for anyone else?

Anyway, I am hardly shy. I used to by quite shy, like not talk kinda shy. But since this board and realizing that if I speak up I can get what I want (not forcefully, but you know what I mean) I have been less shy. I like it alot more.

I'm not really shy, but when i'm talking to a girl I really like or live, I hardly get any words out of my mouth. Otherwise, I`m a quiet person and don't talk that often.
