I'm extremely introverted ..... I'm often close myself off from other people and share very little with my friends.... I live in world inside my head where Music Reigns and is empathetic towards my plight
im a bit like that too, i live in my head, but mostly in silence. i wear masks around people, always have.
wow, me too. Are you guys shy> cos i know im just realllllly shy so I can only be myself when im alone so i end up enjoying my own company the most. i think if i found friends who actually respected me, my opinions and the things i do i would be able to be more myself but i just don't know anybody like that
im not shy.... i just prefer to watch people than talk to them. i show people what they want to see, and they will believe that is me. it makes my life easier.
Why put on a front to other people? What do you mean by "i show people what they want to see, and they will believe that is me. it makes my life easier" how is it easier? You will be different to different people, which means you need to remember who like what, and if 2 different people come together how do you act? I stick by being me (very cliche' but hey) i don't put on any fronts, which confuses lots of people. By only being myself, i don't have to try and be anything, i live for me, if people don't like it then hey/....saying that the only people who don't seem to like me are the people who are scared by openess.
you're lucky..it's a tough road sharing things with people.... i am impatient, awkward, confused, angry, and so many other things..but still i never shut the fuck up when i need to...the funny thing is no matter how much i say they still cant figure me out...and if they figure out one side then the other will turn around and smakc them in the head....oh being me sucks sometimes...
it's not that i do it purposely, it just happens... i adapt to the person im talking to. im not a social retard if i have to i can be the most outgoing talkative person around but thats not who i am. it's just the way i am wired... to please other people. its not that hard really, by saying im different with 2 different people its not some huge thing where i might forget how i was with someone, its how i respond to them. its how i am. its not a front it doesnt tire me out, it IS ME. im not fake though, i dont make up stupid lies to please people thats just idiotic. you'd be suprised how many people want the same things from you, most people think this about me, "nice, friendly, easy to talk to, outgoing". maybe my whole life is a lie?
Hehehe sorry chuckie, i didn't mean it like that, you sound like a genuine person....i just thought you were putting on fronts to please people. I kinda get what you mean now, i can be chilled with some people and hyper with others, but it is all me.
I know someone who is like that. He's not too fun to hang around. I guess I understand why some people are that way, but i can never get why they bitch about people not really liking them. I can deal with a quiet introverted, music loving (or whatever loving) person, but i can't deal with the bitching about things they create.
nope. megalomaniacs work hard to get everyone's attention, to get everyone to follow them and do as they ask, because secretly they're very insecure and want the validation from everyone else. when you're overly shy, it's because you're SO SPECIAL that no one will every truly understand you, respect you, value you as much as you should be. though many try to justify it and rationalize it, make their "problem" into something special, too. they're just not like other people. they're too different. and the funniest thing is when you try to take away their shielding, their justification. then they're so pissed that they're not shy anymore.
