Do you think shy people sometimes come across as bitchy?

[12345]

Or maybe not bitchy, but stuck up or snobby if you don't know them?

[kurkjianb]

YES! (and some of them actually are!)

or at least to their non-friends!

a girl in my class is, what seems to be, shy. She;s in my group for a prject and we were all trying to get her opinoin on something, then she was like "you know what, I know you guys don't really even care what my opinoin is, so what's the point in saying it!"

(I took out some other stuff, that wasn't raelly necessary to say here)

i mean, not all shy people are. I'm actually kinda shy, but I smile and laugh a lot cause I'm a happy person, I guess. so I mean, I don't think I act b!tchy!

fact is I think, shy people aren't b!tchy, b!tchy people don't like to talk to people who they think aren't worth their time, and in many cases, that is everyone who isn't worth their time. would you agree with that?

I'm really shy, and I'm sure plenty of people have thought of me that way. When you don't talk to people, they have no way of knowing what you're like, but they do know that you keep to yourself rather than interact with other people, so it can come off as you having no interest in anyone else. Or if you stay quiet when someone's talking to you, it seems like you could care less about what they're talking about when you really just don't know what to say.

And I think shy people tend to come off as being serious. I do, anyway. People think I'm really high-strung just because I don't walk around smiling all the time. That's not true at all, but who's going to know that if I don't talk to them?

yeah, I'm always quiet, and people just don't talk to me or they assume I just don't like them. some times I'm bitchy because I don't like the person or they were mean to me and actually expected me to be nice to them after what they did. I never noticed it until someone said something about how much of a bitch I was for not talking to people, and then I had to tell them.

Yes, this happens! I'm usually shy, and people have told me they thought I was a little snobby when they first met me, but once we knew each other and I opened up more, they could see I'd only been a little distant.

[12345]

People tell me the same thing! I'm shy too, and my friend that I made recently admitted when she first met me she thought I didn't like her and I was full of myself. I hope too many people don't think of me like that!

some time because shy people don't usally have long convertion with knew people they meet.
