I used to think that shy guys attracted me. They seemed mysterious and I wanted to uncover the mystery. We all know the saying "Still waters run deep

Hmmm...makes me wonder just how "shy" I am... I'm a somewhat "shy guy"...but my attitude usually contradicts that...At least, it does to me... I admit, I do the whole bit of being a bit distant, and virtually non-talkative...but that's somewhat beside the point...I try when I can...I love making new friends, especially anyone even remotely interested in me... I think that's how I gain so many female-friends...? Odd...I'll have to think that over sometime...
Anyways...from my point of view...Um...damn >_< Can't think... For me, it's un-natural for someone to just come up to me and start conversation...if that happens, I usually freeze, wondering what the f'ck's goin' on... But as mellow as I am...I just go with, and start up a conversation...if it leads to something I don't mind talking over, yeah, I'm a conversationalist...if not...I clam-up...I never know what to say, never know what to express...
As odd that is...that's my tiny part...
Nice journal btw...love the icon...your Emoticon-Mood-thing is also cute...
Oh, I'm not saying that confident guys are better than shy guys, that is a matter of each individual case, it's just that shy guys are harder to approach. Personality is the key thing for me and if I can't get through to you right away, I will most likely give up. Not because I think you're not worth it, but because I am too self-conscious to keep trying to make conversation with someone who appears to want me to go away.
I am the type of person who just walks up to someone and starts a conversation. I also love meeting new people. I hope it is not too unnatural if I add you to my friend's list and ask to be added back ;) And thank you for the journal statements.
The most I'm shy in...is just the relationship area...I'm assuming...I can't see myself very easily... But though I don't do the starting of the conversations...if you ~were to come up to me and say somethin'...I'd be confused, admittingly...but if you spark my interest (which is not all that hard...) I'll stick around to talk.
Contradictory though...I learned through my ex-girlfriend just how conversational I am... It depends on what's being talked of that I'm a freakin' chatterbox (ask my roommate, she knows through the conversations we have nearly everyday...) or a death-quiet person. My ex got tired of tryin' to talk to me over the phone...I never talked about anything...(I make a better listener...)
Oh boy...See? I'm rambling as it is... >_< I do better getting words out of my head by my fingers rather than by words... I think it's time for me to sleep... 7:50am...yeah, time for some kind of sleep...been almost 24hrs since I woke up yesterday...
A good listener is always needed. I'm guessing your ex just needed a few words to be reassured that you were there. I have a friend who never says anything back and before I thought that she simply didn't have anything to say (which was a little annoying as it is) but after I found out that all that time she wasn't even listening to me. Sleep tight.
Me, my current rm, and a later rm are all moving from here in Kentucky to Michigan tomorrow morning. Even though from what I hear there is a library just around the corner, I'm not sure if i'll be able to gain much access to it. Once we get up there, all three of us are going to work at a factory for the 3rd shift hour (from 10pm-7am). So I'll be w/out possible internet access until we are able go get our own apartment (we'd be temporarily staying at my current rm's dad's apartment, and he doesn't have internet)...
So, sometime after the move...approximently 3 wks from monday or so, we'll have our own place; about a wk later we'll be able to hook up to internet...
hm, yeah i know how that is. i recently went through a huge move myself and didn't have access to the internet for a week or two. that's when i saw what an addict i am hehe. good luck with the move, talk to you when you settle in then.
