Yes very. I can carry a conversation with almost anyone except if I find them attractive. I seem to get nervous of rejection.
-
Totally! I am always yapping about something. Put a hottie next to me, and I am like a clam! AUGH!
-
HORRIBLY shy. I HATE it soooo much. I just get so nervous and don't want to say anything wrong, and then I'm distracted by his absolute perfection, and I just want to melt and I don't know what to do..... so i just sit there. quiet as a mouse, heart beating crazily, and smiling shyly making small eye contact, and feeling immature
-
Yes. I think everyone is, to a certain extent. We don't want to feel rejected, because we'll take their opinions more seriously, and with more weight if we're attracted to them. So being shy is a defence because otherwise you risk rejection. The irony here is that most people are put off by shyness, and encouraged by confidence! So the act of being shy is actually worse for you!
-
Yes, and not only that but I also laugh at everything they say (regardless of who it is said to), blush, and stare at the ground the entire time I am in their presence (unless they aren't looking because then I am eyeing them down)... Hm. That's not too obvious...
-
I'm not. Some people may be because their personalities are just that way. They feel uncomfortable talking to a person they like. I talk and hang out a lot with the girl I like. We are friends and I'm not a shy person.
-
Not especialy. If anything, I'm *more* inclined to be extroverted and bold around someone I'm attracted to.
-
Only when it comes to asking them out. I'll walk up, shake their hands ask their name and talk to them. Heck if its appropriate I'll ask them to dance. But God help me if I actually want to ask someone out.
-
Yeah,i have to be drunk to talk ..im pretty shy around girls and around gfs parents..its bad.
-
YES! and otherwise I'm not shy. But if I get that crush.. you know.. the really serious one that gives you absolute BUTTERFLIES.. yeah.. I get SO nervous! Can't even think of what to say to him!
-
I'm a fairly shy person to begin with, and i'm 10x as bad when i'm around someone i am attracted to... It's Aweful! I either can't talk at all (which is the worst) or i blabber (which, if the guy gets how hard it it so talk to someone they like, they find it funny and tell me how cute i am :P). It feels like i'm in 3rd grade again and it's my first crush :P...
-
ya...i try not let it happens but...i just cant help it i can never seem to be myself...it seriously kills me inside
-
Sometimes, but only for the first few minutes -- after that we've become friends. :-)
-
A big yessss!!!!
-
extremely
-
A little at first but sometimes when I get nervous I talk entirly too much!
-
I'm a mumbling and stumbling fool around people I'm attracted to. I find it very hard to look them in the eye, so I usually look them in the ass.
-
I used to be. I'm married now and after 14 years I'm kinda used to my wife now. LOL!
-
ya most of the time but then it gets better
-
yessss!!! most people are. i truly respect the people who are not...or at least dont seem like they are!!! i really wish i could be less shy in that sense...but im working on it!
-
Nahhh, I tend to flirt like crazy!!
-
Not really. I'm too much of a flirt to be shy.
-
I usually am very shy around many people but especially those I have an attraction to.
-
Yes, and usually only them.
-
omg yes either that or i say something stupid unless i warm up to him by talking to him for a bit
-
Oh, yeah! Verrry nervous. I'll try to talk to them at first, but then I'll slip over a word or say something dumb and I'll clam up.
-
the less you like someone, the less you care about what they think of you. so you fuction most normally around people you dont like???? who knows?, maybe thats why i attract such bad people.
-
Actually, I am shy around most people and I remain distant. If I am interested in a person, I will try to latch onto that person (not possessively, but follow them like a lost puppy). I'm sure, it's annoying. But I haven't had a crush like that in a long while. I used to be only kind of shy. But now I'm terribly shy. My sudden lifestyle has confined me to loneliness.
-
Yes! If i'm attracted to someone I see a lot and we don't talk much I avoid them like the plague when I see them in a room. It's kinda cool though, you develop this sense if they are near and your eyes can sift them through huge crouds of people! I hate it though.
-
i try not to be. i dont want to show that im that type of person so i just play it cool
-
No. Quite the opposite actually. : )
-
Very much so.I can't be my normal self and I don't know how to be myself my outgoing self around them so I end up being shy.
-
im also an extremly shy. i sometimes behave in a way maybe nobody like me in the world. i behave like a robot in front of people. i want to overcome it but i sometimes give up. it is very awful to people who are seeing you in a this way isnt it?? they wil get revenge or hurt you by any way and this is i dont like. i want to get a right and good solutions for it. im extremly complicated and lonely person. So can you help me please?!!!
-
Yeah, sad but true. But on the bright side I don't really make an arse out of myself...just keep to myself really...
-
Yes.
-
Unfortunatly, no, in fact, I'm a natural repellent.

"Why?!"
