How social are you?

[Nihilego]

How social are you guys? Are you completely closed off from the world sitting in a small dark room or do you feel like you're suffocating if you can't check your friends' status updates on facebook? Are you more likely to be at home with a book or out getting drunk out of your mind on a Saturday night?

Or anything in-between, of course. x)

Edit: Now using the new and innovative Toujours Scale!

Basically a scale of 1 to 10.

 

[Percy Thrillington]

I enjoy being social. There's nothing better than getting a few drinks out, being in someone's back garden and just talking about whatever comes to your head. I play for sports teams; I've done less sporty things such as toastmasters and debating and acquired friends/good times from all of them. I regularly go on out at night to a disco or an under eighteens club or whatever with my crew. It's cool. I have friends I can count on.

That doesn't, however, mean that I don't enjoy some 'alone' time. I always keep time to be by myself to pursue what interests me; to write or whatever. It's a good system.

 

[Oryx]

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being "I sit alone in my room doing nothing every day" and 10 being "I live with multiple people because I can't be alone", I'd say I'm a 6. I can definitely entertain myself online, but I love hanging out with my friends on campus and try to do that whenever possible nowadays. Of course, even when I'm online I'm talking to people on forums or Skype, so it might be more like a 7 or 8.

 

[Mr Cat Dog]

On the now named Toujours-scale of sociability, I'm probably a 7-8 as well.

A few years ago, I'd have easily been a 4 or a 5, but going to university has really opened me up to a certain degree. The only social situations that I try to avoid now are ones with big groups of people where I don't know anyone, and one-on-one conversations with people I'm not sure of. Anything else, I'm fine with. I love spending time with my friends and doing stuff with them; it's a good feeling to have in that regard!

However, that's not to say I don't like my alone time. Sometimes I want to get away from it all, for maybe a few hours a day... and I like that as well. It's a nice balance I've got going for the time being, and I hope it to keep it this way!

 

[Alex]

Uhhh, well that's a tough question to answer. I'm probably more likely to stay home and enjoy time to myself over a weekend, but I still do love hanging out with my friends. It's just cause everyone is getting such a busy schedule lately, myself included, that it tends to happen less and less. And that's not really a bad thing.

Now the problem is here: If I'm home, being unsocial if you will, I'm probably on Facebook or PC. Both sites that revolve around social activity. So even when I'm alone, I'm being social.

But yeah. From 1 to 10, I probably say a 5 or 6.
my social skills irl are kinda crap though

 

[Arma]

I'm pretty social, I guess. I can spent the entire day on the internets when I'm alone, but as soon as another friend also got nothing to do, I'll be gone.
I rather spent time with my friends or outside.
I've got plenty of friends I can count on, and new friends are easy to make. Though it seems more difficult for me to strike up a conversation online.

I'd give myself a 7 on Toujour's scale

 

[Binary]

I'm in-between. Some days, I'll feel like talking to strangers walking on the street and on other days I'll lock myself up in my room. Mildly exaggerated. So yeah, it kind of depends on my mood, environment and social setting for me.

Being social is enjoyable. I enjoy laughing with friends, talking about the most random of things with them and going out for strolls. I'm not too good with people I've just met though, and sometimes.. talking eye-to-eye scares me. I'm not the first to initiate things, and I act withdrawn sometimes. I can be modest at times.. and sometimes I'll try to start a conversation out of nowhere. My social flux has a great variation in wavelength, I suppose.

I enjoy giving time to myself. I enjoy reading books alone.. I love writing, and drawing. And I like just being alone sometimes. I enjoy company as much as I enjoy being alone, but the extent kind of varies.

 

[tnguye3]

i think im pretty social cause i just can't live without seeing my friends.
I usually like to go out and talk about random things, have a good laugh and get a few drinks and maybe go crazy in the evenings. xD
When I meet new people i usually wait for the person to make the initiation but if they don't then I do cause having awkward quiet moments just kills me and I try to make them feel friendly near me so that we kinda open up to each other. :P
In Toujo's scale I'd say 6-7, mainly cause sometimes i enjoy to sit on the couch and play games, and the games i enjoy to play are killers of social life which can suck out 100 hours of my life(The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion). xD

 

[Kevin]

I'm not that social; in the real world or online one. On a scale of 1-10, most likely a 4...

 

[mondays suck]

A 3 or 4 for me, I tend to struggle in most social situations. I have a bunch of friends I can be very social with but apart from that I'm a complete introvert.

 

[Alice]

Normally, I'm somewhere around a 2 or 3 out of 10... sometimes I can be really social, but that's pretty rare.

 

[King Of The Blues]

I would probably be a 5 out of 10.

I sometimes worry about going outside but once I'm outside I'm not too bad. I just worry about the negatives about going outside.

When I'm at school I'm alright and I do get on well with most around and I cause no bother to anyone and I do have friends and get on well with others and I will say "hi" to them.

But as I said before, I just worry about the negatives prior to doing something like going outside at times and if that problem was eradicated I'd probably be fine

 

[TheMysteryEgg]

I really like being on my own and people really don't like me around. So I would probably be a 2.

 

[Charizard★]

I'd probably be a 3 or a 4 or that scale. I don't really talk, and I only have a small group of friends :I

 

[Shining Raichu]

When I was in high school, I was a 2 or 3. I had a group of friends at school, but I generally spent my weekends at home by myself because that's how I liked to be.

Since I started working with customers and learned how to better interact with people, I'm probably a 6 or 7 - I make plans with people on my days off and generally have something going on, though I do still enjoy my alone time.

 

[Fluttershy]

The party don't start 'til I walk in.

 

[solarowl]

I think of myself as quite social. I talk to lots of friends at school, and after (I hang out a lot) as well. I also am here most of my free time.
But through my shyness I have, I'd give myself an 8 on the Toujours scale.

 

[hyperblast81]

For me, probably a 4. I don't know why, but 99% of the people that I know of at school or whatever just disgust me, seriously, sometimes you'd think that some of 'em are 5 year olds.. But the 1% that are my friends are enough to make up for it.

 

[Hikamaru]

I actually have more Facebook friends than real friends.

I'm following 1,394 subjects on Twitter.

 

[Nutella]

I'd say 7/10, because I like meeting new people (in real life- I don't like about 70% of people I meet on the internet), but it doesn't mean I'll like them. I like socialising and small talk. The 3/10 is the parts where I want to be alone. When I want to be alone, there's nobody in the world I want to talk to. I really need my "me" time, but for the most part, I'm a sociable and outgoing person.
