Welll... I was reading the Reader's Digest, and there was this article on shyness. In it, there's this quiz-thing:

Bam. Easy 5 there for me.

Is anyone else here shy, too?

4 so I guess I'm not shy. Sometimes I can be though. The one about being close to someone you know at a social event doesn't really make sense, because what's the point of going to a social event if you aren't going to be social with your friends?

6 yes, 1 depends, 1 no neighbors, and 3 No's. I guess I'm shy.

*quickly hides behind bushes* :ph43r:

I'm pretty much all of those, you'd probably know Sara, and perhaps Alana if she even knew who I was :P

:blink:

Hehe, guess you don't, just ask Sara, she'll tell you. B)

Even I know :rolleyes:

No, I don't really think Im shy. I used to be, but now I talk alot.
I get introduced to new people (especially girls) at school or somewhere
Im never shy. I talk introduce myself crack jokes and stuff like that. The only time I can remember that I've been shy, was when my friends mom took me and my friend someplace. She took us to her friends house, her friend has two daughters about the same age as me and my friend. They were twins and they were pretty hot. My friend and I were speechless. We talked after we got used to them being around. Eventually we got them to "like like" us. So thats pretty much the only time I can remember that I've been shy

Hard to beleive that i'm shy huh

Oh dear god.. I answered "yes" to all of them. Is there a special meaning to that? I always wanted to be special..

Yes, you're an emotional coward. JK. That's definite no for everything. I'm not shy, nor am I very outgoing. I simply do my own thing, whether you like it or not. My girl says that's why she likes me. :P

i have a few of those, i guess im partailly shy

...Urm.. All right, then. o.o''
