Shy extraverts, how do you make friends?

[Bethany22]

Share your stories on your experiences. Are you confident enough to go to a place where there's a lot of people, but you wait for others to talk to you? Or how does that work?

[20yearsolder]

Yeah I don't know how you can be an extrovert and shy at the same time. If you're an extrovert you're outgoing. I can say that you're shy but willing to go out and try. Anyway I'm an extrovert, I have no problem talking with anyone about anything so I'm probably not much help for you

Apaarently I have a nack of people just wanting to befriend me.

That's another term from pop psychology that's... Far fetched

people approach them?

I'm a shy introvert, but I have to be able to act extroverted at work. And I do. None of my work colleagues would believe that I'm actually an introvert.

When I get home, I need total quiet and alone time to recharge my batteries, sometimes a nap, if it's been an extremely cRaZy day!

I make friends easily because I'm easy-going and good-natured and I don't cause drama. So people see me as safe and dependable.

[anon1903]

I confirm that

[Jamie05rhs]

@anon1903 Thanks! 🙂

Far as I’m concerned “shy extrovert” is a contradiction

[Shy_Steve]

Exactly, Your either a Shy Introvert or a Confident Extrovert, You cannot be a Confident Introvert just like you cannot be a Shy Extrovert.

It is a perfect example of a Contradiction.

@Shy_Steve, you with that username need to read the book Quiet by Susan Cain.

[Shy_Steve]

I have never heard if it, Sounds Interesting.

[Guy13]

One can not be both shy and extroverted.

[FunkyMonkee]

Friends? What is, "friends"?

[Slim57]

I let people talk to me first

Go all out
