I'm introverted and my brother is extroverted. So I grew up thinking that being extroverted was the best! But I'm slowly starting to accept that this is the way God made me. Family and friends think that I'm mad or don't want to talk. My brother, on the other hand, can easily strike up a conversation with people. He's seen as friendly and sweet and of course he is but I'm not mean myself.
So I wish people could see that I am a nice person, it's just that I'm shy and value my time alone. Also, when I try to talk to people, (I live in an apartment and I sometimes try to smile or say hi to my neighbors if they are walking around) they sometimes don't answer. I think I have a very low, soft voice. Part of it is insecurity and part of it is just my natural voice.
Quick question: Do you think it's okay for a lady to be a little shy? I mean isn't it wrong for a woman to be too talkative to the point where men might get the wrong idea? I've just noticed some of the girls at school who are very friendly (and I love that about them) but the guys get the wrong idea and immediately think she's available to sleep with them or wants to be with them. It's pretty gross and I know this because (since I'm shy) most people just talk near me and they don't even acknowledge that I'm there and they carry on with their conversations. So I've heard quite a few guys talking about the friendly girl in that way. It's really sad!
