Only if I'm like... Really comfortable with who I'm talking to. XD How long does it take me to get comfortable with the person and talk? Honestly, it depends if I like their personality or not. XD But not usually, not very sociable.

I'm reserved, blah. Content enough with the modest number of friends I have that I'm reluctant to make new ones. No problem talking and all that, I just don't want to know new people and don't warm up to them quickly.

I don't really like to surround myself with any more than maybe four people; goes without saying I don't do parties then.
Heh, I'm not even social on PC, my inbox is empty as an anorexic's fridge and you can see my profile doesn't have a defined age or gender.

You guys, you can't expect the internet to be your main life source. I understand it's fun and everything, but trying to meet new people isn't bad. Whenever I feel I have to get away from my internet life, I simply spend time with my RL life, like work and friends. Don't say you're too shy to meet new people either, I'm shy as well but I take the time to make conversation with people. Don't limit yourselves to your group of friends either, try to get more acquaintances. D:

Anyway as for me, I'm reserved but I secretly like meeting new people. I usually accompany my friends when going to social events and people are generally very interesting to me.

Well, in real life I'm just the typical anti-social guy who's very shy. However, if I manage to get to know other people, after I feel comfortable and confident, I may open up a bit (as long as I share something to talk about with the other people)

Here, in the "web world", I may seem a bit more social, but that's only because of the annonymity, as that gives certain confidence. But, I still think I'm not too social online, anyway.

No. I'm not even social on Pokecommunity o.o; I'm too shy to talk to people and never know what to say. It's very hard for me to start a converstation, and when I do, I question people all the time. I also don't like going out a lot, so I never hang out with people. So obiviously I am not social.


When it ended, you cried instead of make anew
Was there a reason for forgetting everything...?

Dara and I have the best inside jokes ever, this banner RULES.

Even on forums I tend to lurk quite a bit.. xD

On here, and Gaia, and Janime I tend to like to sit back and read, instead of constantly adding onto conversations. There are times when I'm in more of a posting mood, but typically I lurk.

Guess I'm that way IRL too. I'm calm, and most of the time I'm laid back.. so I tend to do the listening and let others talk. Aside from that just being personality, I'm also shy.. xD So that just adds to it, and can make it even worse.

I can be sociable, though. I'm easy enough to get a long with, and I'm fine when I HAVE to talk to talk to others.

Eck.being social is like being a butterfly, you're to noticable, stay back in the shadows. now I'm not saying be gloomy, but being a moth's just as good as a butterfly. ;|

I try to just get along with people, in general. Doesn't always work though, there's a very big culture of arrogance and self-importance at my school. Meaning, if you're not cool enough, there's a lot of people who'll hate you just for that. A bit moronic, really. I'm a particular target of that kind of behavior. I think I draw too much attention to myself, I'm pretty open about my nerdiness. And hey, I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm not going to be a fake, just for the sake of making some moronic, closed minded "friends".

But, hey, it's not all doom and gloom for me. There are also plenty of decent cool, intelligent people at my school, and I get on with those types just fine. =) I do make an effort, really. I'm not in the business of pissing people off for no reason, and I'll generally make an effort to engage people in conversation.

My Social-ness is a long and bumpy road.

When I was really really young, I'd talk to everyone in the streets, roads, everywhere! We were living at Germany at the time, and (from what I'm told) I would go upto any Hobo and any model and start talking with the little German I knew.

Then We came to Australia after going back to Nepal for a while, Yeah, I was very hyper still, and I would do the same thing, but I would get bullied by this guy at school, and it dampened my spirits and I started becoming quiet. At Year 3 (xD) I changed schools, and once again, was a hyper guy, who wanted to socialize, but no-one would want to be friends with me because I was always acting out "KAME HAME HAHHH!" So yeah... I had no friends except for the guys who acted out Age-Of-Empires D:

Then I changed schools in year 5, and Although Annoying, I was very popular. Everyone knew me, I didn't know them xD Our Group Owned the school, everyone looked upto us.

In Year 7, I got to school about 4 weeks late because I went to Nepal to visit my grandparents, and I didn't get to go to those peer-to-peer programs, so I was pretty much an outcast in school. This is when I first joined PC because I had nothing to do at all. Half-way through year 7, this girl asked me out, and I said yes xD

In year 8, we broke up, and I went all emo and stuff, but soon, I got over the fact that it was the end of our relationship which consisted of me calling her for 5 hours straight nearly every night o.o
I pretty much lost my popularity because I spent too much time talking to her, and yeah, now everything was gone. So now I'm alone, no popularity, and a very antisocial person D:

Year 9, alot of crazy stuff happened, and she told me she loved me, and i told her to give this other guy a chance, she did, and now me and her have problems. But thats not all, I soon realise that everyone is out there just to get noticed, so I stop my gruffy, angry nature with the lebanese guys at school, and they prove to be quite fun. I start hanging out with Asians and my social life is going up... Kinda..

Now, My social life at school is very good, I find it hard to get a strong bond with someone first, but I'm the type of person that people would spill everything to, and know that I'd trust them with my life. Most of my secrets are kept with over 20 people, and It's a good feeling when you get help and advice from more than just two or three people.

Yet, In real life, I have problems with girls.. If I meet them on the net, Then I meet them in real life, Its easy, but If its directly in real life, I get shaky and stuff which is a result of my low-confidence with girls (since my bully from year 1 D: )


And thats my social life... If some one comes to me for help, normally I'd help them without a second thought, but sometimes it really ticks me off as sometimes its not the right time and place.. I do annoy people alot though xD Its a result of my never-ending Hyperness :D

Lol I'm in the Navy, surrounded by the same people I work with day in and dayout, so I don't really have a choice!! Actually, I'm for the most part very social and pretty well liked. Granted, after work when we're in port I usually crash at my pad, and don't really talk to anyone, but that's my chill mode time. Underway, nobody has crap for privacy so everyone knows everyones buisness. So underway we're hella social. In different ports, I'm always talking to the locals (unless they don't speak English; thank you Shanghai, Vladivostok and most of South Korea).

In a nutshell: Yep. I'm pretty social.

I'm not that social. I never really go out and in school a lot of people find me boiring. If someone comes and talks to me then I will talk to them, but I won't go and talk to new people. I am to shy to do that.

On PC I will talk to anyone. I don't mind talking to people here as I don't feel uncomfortable. Although most people will probably get bored of me fast.
