are you SHY when you're WITH STRANGERS?

Yes I am! I can't be myself when I am with strangers. I tend to shut down. Meaning, I only speak when spoken to. But I can never open a topic to a stranger. This is the reason why I am having a hard time finding new friends. I am not the one who makes the move it is the other party. I hope I can be more confident about myself especially when talking to strangers.

I prefer to call myself careful, more than shy. I respect people's privacy, and I take as much as I'm given.

Yes. Because they are STRANGERS for me and because of my shy nature. I dont trust people so much.

I am shy with strangers because I am protecting myself from harm, and I may never know who are the creeps and wierdos.

Yes i am a bit shy when I am around strangers. I have always been shy. I need to get to know people a little bit before I am willing to share much with them. Also I have never been very good at small talk. There are only so many things you can say about the weather. But when I get to know people you can hardly shut me up

Yes i am and also i am really shy person.because with the strangers i dont know him/her and i dont know what kind of person is that strangers,When my husband and i go to a party i often quit in the corner but sometimes i can talk if somebody try to talk to me then why not,I always thinking that if somebody want to talk to me then i appreciate that.

Yea, im a little shy when im near strangers. Much because i almost never trust them, besides i don't know how they are and how they would react to stuff. I think i find it more uncomfortable than actually being shy, im still shy but more uncomfortable about it.
