I'm watchful, observant and quiet..i liven up when conversation about God is present.. I tend to be drawn to the people no one else is talking too. Physically challenged or simply place myself comfortably next to them without invading their space.. I do not like the center of attention.. And do not speak simply for conversation to happen..
I am an encourager of what people" think" they can't do.. And am usually the first one in a group to roll my sleeves up and saying "let's do this" when a task needs completed.. I'm more action based than word based

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!

"Very private - always prefers alone time to socializing"
I'm a very introverted person at this time of my life. Too much time around others tends to make me feel drained, like being in the room with them has sucked all the energy out of me. I don't feel I have much in common with others, so I tend to feel like the alien of the party, lol.
At home I enjoy talking to my family or my BF. The few close people I trust (or at the occasional anonymous forum) I will share personal details with about my life if they are interested to hear them. In that sense I'm not as private.

Not enough options...
Where is "Private - love being around other people and socializing"?
I like being around people and socializing... but I never do and I'm very private... makes it hard to get to know people when you're so private and also makes it hurt that much worse when ya just wanna go out with people and have fun and there's no one. I always said I feel like an extrovert trapped in an introverts body. Or a penguin who wishes he was an eagle.

I used to be a social butterfly but I didn't like where it got me and I slowly became a introvert. I don't talk to anyone where I live and hardly get out of the house but I am ok with that because I am no longer getting hurt by others. Also everyone I got deep and personal with outside of my family has hurt me or has a huge flaw they are not willing to overcome so I am very reluctant to let anyone in before I get an idea of what kind of person they are. I am not looking for just a friend though I really want to find the one I am meant to be with for the rest of my life. Things will work out in time I just have to wait on the lord to lead me to her and I am trying my best to stay right with him. For most of my life I lived sinfully but around last year I have moved onto the straight and narrow and I feel like a new man I have learned a lot but I still got more to learn. I am finally at peace with the person I am and I believe I'm doing right by the lord but there is still a part of me I feel is missing so I intend to find it.
As much as I really liked the term "Socially Neutral" (lol), I'd have to say that while I can deal with social situations, I don't particularly enjoy them if I'm in a group and don't know anyone.
I was talking to someone about why it's so hard to make friends when you get older. He was saying that when we're younger, we'll do what everyone else is doing to meet people and fit in, even if we're not particularly interested in the activity. As we get older, we're pickier about how we spend our time, and that can result in fewer opportunities to meet people.
I'd have to agree. I am the type of person who can meet 200 people and only feel close with 1 or 2 of them... but then I wind up hanging out with those 1 or 2 people over and over. I prefer a handful of close, trustworthy relationships (the types of friends you can call at 2 AM, would lend you money, or help you pack if you're moving) to having lots of acquaintances, and in my experience, it takes a bit of time and effort to develop friendships like that.
