This is a word that often can scare people.

 

Are you social? Do you go places a lot? Can you talk to people you dont know very well?

 

I am.

depends on mood. sometimes i really like to go somewhere and meet some (new) people but sometimes to stay alone is better. for me

Well I'd consider you social then, everyone needs a break.

actually yes, i think i am. but depends on company as well :/ i'm not sure i would go to a bar or somewhere else for a drink with some guys whom i know for a short time. it equals a punchup sometimes :O

I've been a loner most of my life.

And when i am in social situations, I tend to just sit back and watch...not because I am trying to be creepy...or because I am shy or anything like that. I mean, if someone approaches me, I will speak naturally to them...all that bit.

 

But it's just when, there are many new people, my personal method is to sit and watch for a while. Observe the people and see how they act. Then it is easier for me to find out who is how.

 

Works for me!

 

I believe that is how I learned to speak English too :wink: sitting back, watching, listening...and you (well, I) learn that way.

 

after I get the flow of people, i join in and ta da!

If I'm in the mood I can chat away for far too long.

Im always different....never the same. :blank:

Depending on the situation or my mood I can be more/less social.

Depending on if I know the people well or if Im in good company.

i am pretty chill and I wait for people to approach me. It shows a worthwhile effort.

I see it as if someone really worth of my time approaches me, then It will make for a better situation.

Maybe I think that they will be someone compatible to my taste...

It's tough to describe but it works for me

I think I also have to be in a mood for that...but most of the time I am.

That almost made me puke

 

Why shouldnt you approach others?

 

The reason I almost puked is thinking of today, a 2 hour car journey home with a girl (Who I dont like anyway) told me to stop being BORING, when I was making all of the conversation and eventually gave up on her.

 

It just annoys me when girls are like this.

I'm not, I think.The point is that when I'm among people I don't feel myself safe, don't know.I prefer to be such a casual observer, not to stand out, just to be in cociety and watch at peole.

i think im too social... specially if im drunk!!!

 

no, no, really... i think i am social. i go out a lot, my job is to talk to ppl i dont know, and i love talking... whenever... im one of those annoying ppl that will start a conversation while waiting in a bank line or smt... :laugh4:

 

i dunno... i think i just talk too much...

ahahah!!! nice thread... :p

 

my best friend used to call me anti-social.... I always keep telling her that all I do is being carefull with people...

Im still wondering about Crystals post that nearly made me puke.

I don't think I'm social at all, but I try to be because I don't want people to think I'm stuck up or anything. But at parties I hardly talk at all. In fact, I hate parties. When a friend invites me to a party i feel like I HAVE to go, which is weird because sometimes I end up having a good time...

I don't like talking to people. I don't like most people. I like be alone.

 

I try as hard as possible to stay away from people.

 

=/

Oh dear that is really sad!!!

 

:o

It's really hard to make friends with me, but usually when I do make friends, I keep them for a very long time.

 

 

I guess that's a good thing. o_o

Same here. Sometimes I'm very quiet that I can go hours without saying a word, just sit and watch. Other times I'm a bit loud with my laughters (which is emberrassing at times), but overall I get along well with people even though I'm a bit rude at times.:embarassed:

i love people!!!! i think im a fairly social person and its always good to broaden your friendships with new people

No, I'm not social.

I've got a social anxiety

i think i'm quite social ... unless if i'm tired. But like when i'm in a conversation with somebody i don't know very well i always make sure that there are no 'painful silences'. But i'm not just gonna talk to people i see standing in the same line as me.
