Are you outgoing?

Or do you find most people's chatter mindless and not worth the effort?

Not outgoing at all. Don't have very many friends, though the friends that I do have are pretty close. I tend to find "small talk" annoying.

I'm outgoing with people I know. Couldn't care less about strangers...

I have an energy about me that some people really dig and other people are terrified by.

So, I am outgoing to a point but I have learned to temper my natural exuberance because it scares people. In some situations I can give my talents full reign... in others, I must repress my natural instincts.

Such is life.

In a situation where no one knows each other, i will usually be the one to start a conversation. i tend to be more outgoing with people i don't know. my one downfall is talking to guys that i am interested in. I mean i can have a normal conversation and what not but i almost NEVER take the first step to hint the going out or doing something together, hopefully that'll change some time or another.

If understand Isla correctly, I'm kind of like her. I can very (VERY), um, "active" ^_^ among friends and sometimes the general public. I don't like social events (any party had better have a switch present! :)), but I have a hell of time cutting loose at lunch during school. How's that?

Yup, that's about right, Killbat. ;)

Heh, i bet you've made quite an impression on your peers!

Just remember, be yourself and don't worry too much about people's opinion of you.

In the end, being yourself is the best (and most entertaining) thing you can do.

If I don't have anything to say to someone, then I don't say anything. I hate small talk with complete strangers and never initiate any conversations. It's not that I'm shy, I just that I don't have anything relevent to say therefore I don't say anything at all.

Now visgf on the other hand, she can manage to find out a complete strangers life story in a matter of minutes. :confused:

I find most of the chatter useless...Unless it's beneficial to me in a financial way.

I'm a party animal trapped in a hermit's body.

I'd like to be more outgoing, I just need to make a new friend who'll KICK ME IN THE ASS and get me OUT!
