How social are you? (An anonymous pol)

I thought it would be interesting to see how social we all are in real life (away from your computer).

Are you a social butterfly who loves meeting new people, feels comfortable around strangers and and loves to talk talk talk?

Or are you the type of person who would rather be by themselves and tries to avoid social situations if they can?

Inquiring minds want to know! :)

I was once very social. Now I mainly stick with close friends, family, and defacto family.

Somewhat varies on the situation. But on the average i'm a 'watcher'. I love to watch and study people. Which fits in well with being quiet and shy... and even having some public anxiety. Last time i went to a new church i was so nervous around the people i was shaking. But yet i can go out to eat or the store and be fine. Though if i'm with someone, a friend or something, in public, i'm usually a quiet talker. I tend to get concerned about being overheard.
Doesn't help that i'm a bit of a hermit too.

Offline I'm friendly, but normally quiet until I get to know people.

I like being a loner most of the time, but when I do get a chance to spend time with family and friends I know well, my inner crazy likes to come out and play. :)

I'm kind of socially inept [ISTJ], but I sometimes try.

I chose 'somewhat private'.

I wouldn't say I've ever had social anxiety, merely social perplexity. Sometimes I feel like Jane Goodall.

ISTJ. True introvert. There are some people who bring out the chatty side of me almost instantly, but even in a collection of friends I'm normally one of the less chatty ones. Until you mention Minecraft or theology.

I'm in the middle of very social and ''neutral social''. When I'm around people I like people to feel safe with me, so I consider myself very friendly, and I also like to get to know new people and I ask questions like ''where are u from?'' or stuff like that. However, it varies according to the situation...sometimes I prefer being quiet, not unfriendly, but I just let someone else do the talking while I listen. I also enjoy alone time.

I'm somewhat social. I used to like making titles & use more words to describe my... "uniqueness" but I think the poll did a great job summing me up :D

This may be hard for some of you to believe(especially if you have seen me in chat),but in person I am actually quite reserved and a little shy.

The point of complication for me falls on the use of the verbs "prefer" "love" and "like" in the poll question. :)

I know off the bat there are a number of people on this site who are involuntarily house bound or who have "difficulties" socializing rather than saying that it is what they prefer.

I fall into this category.

I too am somewhat social. I love talking to friends. But I don't normally start a conversation with a stranger.
