    being shy sucks. When I was in college, I could never find a job because they wanted an outgoing person. I did horrible in interviews no matter how much coaching I got. Even being friendly, they didn't like my softness. Nowadays, it's honestly more anxiety than it is shyness.

      Being nervous about calling someone doesn't always mean that you're shy. I hate phone calls because I like face-to-face conversations; especially if I don't know the other person very well. I'm usually never the same on a phone call as I am in person.

    Being introverted is needing time alone to recharge your energy, not a choice to be less social. It's the exact opposite. In fact, there was a study that concluded that you're born either an introvert, or an extrovert. And I'd be happy to site that source.

    @myeyelashesarelongerthanyo6019 8 ปีที่แล้ว +49

    The thing with me is that I'm so shy that I have a literal panic attack whenever someone that I'm not close to approaches me. I hate talking, I hate interacting and I only open up to a few people. I constantly feel uncomfortable in social situations, and I feel that anyone laughing nearby is laughing at me. I adore solitude, but at the same time, I want to have a lot of friends and I want to be outgoing, but I can't since it takes all my courage just to say "hi" to an acquintance.

  • @peachtea2003
    @peachtea2003 8 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    I don't think I'm a social butterfly, because I'm not a very popular person in school. but I do find it super easy to talk to people and to be loud and act in a very joking manner around everyone. I'm never afraid to raise my hand and say my opinion. I'm also rlly blunt and I wish more people were that way as well. I'll just say my raw opinion without sugar coating it and I'll make bold statements that other people might be too reserved to say. the person I like comes across as a more reserved person while i just put myself out there and say random stuff and I feel like that comes across as weird, improper, and invasive. there are also times where I would rather do anything else than socialize. not because I'm afraid to be around people, but because I just want to go home and sit down and draw and watch anime for hours. but when I am with people, I get super energetic and I want to be around them all the time. I guess it just depends on my mood and what I feel like doing that day.

It's hard to talk to strike a conversation on someone who only answers back with one word and outgoing is more attractvie

    I'm quite a shy person until I become more comfortable around someone, then I'll open up to them. Personally, I feel as though teachers tend to like me more and are more inclined to believe me as a result of my timidness. I confess that I've taken advantage of this before to avoid getting into trouble.

My mom calls me Stuck up and I try to explain to her that I'm really anti social but she keeps saying I'm stuck up because people have to talk to me first for me to talk to them. And if she does consider that I'm shy she says to get over it! Like, "Thank you for your helpful advice. How about I take away some of your confidence and you go do that." It's not that simple!

    logically speaking I see no reason to be shy. And don't let this fool you either, being outgoing doesn't make you unintelligent, unfocused or a drama causer. It just means you're comfortable in your own skin. I used to be shy, but I came across the realization that I'm going to die some day. Why not learn to be self aware and push yourself to new heights. Business opportunities, relationships life experiences are hard when you close yourself off. My advice is become self aware challenge yourself because we don't have forever to live.

    I don't agree with the approachable part. I'm an extrovert with anxiety. I don't know how to talk to quiet people because I'm afraid I'm bothering them and I have no idea what they're thinking. I like the people who are outgoing like me because they communicate what they're feeling through how they talk and I don't need to be on watch for anything wrong because it'd be obvious if they were upset.

    @FaeKinomo98 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I used to be very shy to the point where it would've had a negative impact on my life had I remained that shy. But people pushed me too hard to be outgoing. So now I feel an obligation and pressure to be outgoing when all I want is to sit back and listen and observe. It's caused such a negative impact that is one of the reasons I've developed extreme social anxiety. I guess my point is that it's just better to be yourself than to try to be something you're not.

    I used to be shy, but now I'm an outgoing person. I still have a shy person's traits like having deeper friendships and good at solitary works, or maybe I'd rather be alone but also be in a group of people. But it all just depends on the situation/mood.

    I'm one of the shyest people I know, but I talk a lot to the people I know well. I never talk about myself, so when I go home and am able to talk to the people I want to, I want to get all of my ideas and everything about my day out because it's been bubbling inside me forever so I have to let someone else see it. So, I'm shy, but I really talk a lot.

    I am something between shy, introverted and socially anxious, I am not entirely sure anymore. Anyway, here is how each of these 9 characteristics apply to me:
    1: I usually don't even think I did that well as an A is my standard grade.
    2: I had a plan for my life when I was 13 already..
    3: I do not notice details at all and love rollercoasters.
    4: Whenever people want to talk it might be annoying at first but I can open up quite quickly when I feel I can trust them.
    5: My silence usually makes people nervous.
    6: I'd like to be a psychiatrist actually.
    7: I used to gossip but I never enjoyed it. I always felt horrible after this.
    8: I also kept friendships I rather should have given up as I felt I had no other people or chances at meeting people.
    9: Working alone makes me 20 times as efficient as working in a group. Anybody can relate?

    being shy or outgoing is neither bad or good its how you see yourself and how others see you, both have an equal amount of pro's and con's due to our society being unique, so in reality the best thing to be is to be yourself because there are people who will like you the way you are and hey you might change after a while but your still you.

  • @Guaseth

    I'm both shy and introvert and I can't help it but feel that my devotion to my two best friends has been screwing up my life for the last 4 years, and, during the last year, everything got so bad, I really began to have issues, I'm currently 21yo and I think I lost the ability to feel right by myself, but I've been doing all kinds of stuff to fix things up and leave my confort zone...
    Sharing my story to the point, maybe it might give someone somekind of inspiration/something to relate to...
    -Got a tattoo.
    -Got drunk with some casual friends in a social environment
    -Got in touch with friends I stopped seeing when I graduated from school
    -Began a checklist of weird stuff I want to do (and stuff I should do by myself)
    -Somehow meeting with some people who happen to be as weird as me and staying up until 3AM memeing hard with em
    -Taking some risks, I asked my best fem friend out and her reaction really bothered me (she didn't even say "No", a rejection would have been better than that passive-aggresive mistrust I got but it was still worth it since it helped me realize some stuff about my relationship with her).
    -In the last few months I've had lots of alcohol and after all this stuff... I've been keeping it low and getting my shit together, also, I don't feel I rely on my ego as much.
    -There's much more stuff, but I won't give any more details since this comment is already too long.

    Being shy is fine and good for me! Because when I have hard time making friends and when I do, I make sure I appreciate how much I need my friends to be by my side. But the down side to be shy that it's hard for me to throw rude words back since I'm very hesitant with my words around enemy to make sure I'm not looking like a fool. Not to mention that when I had to be in a team with my enemies, I'm an all-4-types introvert so I think a lot, then they said I'm an ignorant, rushing me for answers. When in reality, I have no answers and I'm trying to think or rushing me for answer will lead me to lying or wrong answers.

The thing is, I've gone to the same big school for my whole life, and i've always known everyone there making me more comfortable. Just me trying to ask the guy at the counter for some change makes me have a panic attack.

    I'm 11 years old and have a good dancing talent, but I'd only show it to good friends or myself. But I went to a camp last week and had a dance at the zoo why'll we were there. I was a little shy, but doing around people who were doing the same thing made me more comfortable even though I barely knew them at the start, and I even got asked to be in the dance battle. They said 1 person from every cabin shall be picked, it was a choice between me and a girl named Harley, so it was me, but Harley put herself in doing half cartwheels and stuff.So I asked my friends if I should, and they said go for it! So I stepped in and Harley left. I felt so embarrassed and scared when millions of campers were watching me in a circle with 5 other campers, but I did it, I may have not won(a 9 and a 1/2 year old boy won) but I put myself out there. I hope this inspires many people who are shy, maybe sometimes shy people should do what their heart wants them to do.

  • @Aurolove
    @Aurolove 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm both shy and introverted and I actually can relate to most things in this video. The only thing that bothers me though is that people tend to think of me as unapproachable, boring and negative (I think the last one is mainly bc I say things that people don't want to hear although they know what I'm saying is true) but in reality I can be really funny, interesting and awesome - as my few close friends have told me - once you get pass my "awkwardness". The "bad thing" about this is that I suffered a lot when I was younger bc of my personality since I used to be bullied a lot during middle school and high school and a lot of my so called friends back then left me alone and took the side of the bully since apparently that was easier than stick up for me. And bc of that I was really self-concious about myself - and I still am but less than before - and I used to wonder if something was wrong with me and I tried really hard to be another person so I would be accepted until I stumble across this really awesome guy - he's one of my best friends now - who made me realise I don't need to change for anyone and that I needed to love myself for who I am and that it doesn't matter if I'm different bc that makes me unique.

    At high school I was always so loud or louder and more talkative when with my friends, but in class or with teachers, I go into this state of quietness.
    And there was a time in my earlier years in primary school where I was talkative to anyone, most of the time, sometimes even came off as a bully, which I can't wrap my head around, but it changed as the years passed, then again I was belittled by one of my teachers and it just weighed on my self esteem. It's hard when someone expects nothing more of you than to fail, right?

    Being introverted is not choosing not to be with people. Being introverted is needing alone time to restore your energy. I know many introverts who are quite social - they just need some time afterwards to recharge. Being introverted is not a bad thing.
    And even if someone did choose not to be with people a whole lot, that's not bad either. It's just a choice the person made actively or passively.

    @crinsombone5380 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Having watched this I can say that I wish I had the qualities of shy people like attention to detail. But I'm generally ok with being outgoing. Those moments of meeting interesting people (like Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, people who are into martial arts like you, or people who just been all around the world) in random places no less are great. I like that even though I don't find myself attractive, I never care and am completely comfortable with talking to women. However I do find plenty of moments when I wish I was a little more shy (or at least cautious). Normally people find me funny, but I have no filter so that can lead to moments when people find what I say as too offensive and the tension in the room gets high because now these people I just met probably think I'm an asshole but I'm actually nice and can be sensitive to your feelings if you tell me what you find offensive, it's just sometimes I say things without thinking, please don't hate me.
    On a side note, am I the only outgoing person here?

    I'm shy and introverted....well, sort-of shy? You would know me as that person who's mute at school. I don't talk because of my bad breath problem. But I like to make facial expressions to show that I'm not THAT shy as people think I am, but they don't seem to get the message. I isolate myself at lunch & group projects cuz they might get a whiff of my breath.... And that's not good. People bully me because of it, but I can't help it. I have perfectly straight teeth, no cavities. My bad breath is caused by tonsil stones, which are horrible smelling beady-things at the back of my throat. I'm really tired of this "shy act" and I really want to talk to somebody at school, so the next time I go to the doctors, I'll ask for tonsil stone antibiotics (I already checked in with my dentist and she told me to go to the doctors to get it fixed).

I guess I'm introverted and shy.(and a bit of clueless) When I'm with a group of friends I never really try to involve my self with the conversation willingly. I may laugh maybe once here or there if something is funny, or respond when someone mentions me in the conversation, but other than that I just get lost in thought. I have a problem talking to someone and making eye contact with anyone who isn't in my family. And I hate things like presentations or asking questions in class because I don't want to be the center of attention for even a second around others. And I say I lack understand because in a conversation with even someone close, I struggle to really be empathetic. Then again this sounds more anti social than shy or introverted.
