I'm a hybrid of introvert and extrovert.

I'm definitely quiet in a crowd of people I don't know. I tend to prefer small groups, and groups where I know at least one other person. So, I guess I'll vote that it takes me a little while to warm up.
Also, I don't do well when I'm the center of attention and public speaking is VERY difficult for me, although I'm always told that I do quite well when I have to speak in front of a group.

this one is difficult for me to answer, I certainly dont consider myself shy or quiet...but I dont think that I am outgoing or loud either. I mean, I will be willing to pray at a bible study, say prayer for the meal, read the verses that bible study leader is asking someone to read etc, I am not affraid or embarrassed in any form to do that...but I am certainly not the life of a party either. (I hate to say it, but I am one of those people who can put you in your place quick with out ever raising my voice ....Jesus is helping me to keep silient and be slow to speak , have reign over my tongue) Shrugs, I dont know what I am.. I am just me :) I guess I would have to put outgoing...even though that doesnt really describe me either.

I can be both, but my natural tendency is to be an introvert. I think I've come out of my shell a lot, but it takes a Long time for people to get to know me. However, there are instances where I click with someone right away and they'd never guess that I'm shy. Also, when I'm in my element, like when I'm hiking, running, or biking, I can so easily talk to strangers and have a long conversations with them. I remember doing a five hour hike with a couple strangers I met on a trail and we even ended up having supper afterwards. NOt bad for an introverted girl, huh? lol.
In these forums, I think it took about 8 months before I started talking to people as though I knew them. I used to just post, without really intending to connect. Now, I'm a little more comfortable around here.
But for the most part, I'm a lot more reserved and quiet with people I don't want to let in my life. People at work has no idea about my personal life. I mean, not a thing other than I love hiking/climbing or what football team I cheer for. LOL. But I manage to have decent conversations with them. Does that mean I'm shy? Or just reserved.

I am reserved when meeting people, having grown up in a culture with very definite protocols governing human interactions. I have a "privacy fence" that I ask to be respected. I can chit-chat with complete strangers without feeling any shyness, but have personal boundaries for physical space-ie I DO NOT like to be hugged or kissed even on the cheek by people I do not know or am only acquaintenced with.
With familyand friends I am very out-going and affectionate.

It honestly all depends on the circumstances.
SOMETIMES, I can be extremely shy.
But other times, I can be very outgoing.
I mean, if I'm with a friend and they're introducing me to one of their friends, I'm shy. I don't talk.
If I'm with a group of my friends, I don't care who sees me. I'm very outgoing and when I'm outgoing, I'm usually meeting new people.
Um, let me see, if I'm alone and I want to meet new friends, I try to step out of my comfort zone and introduce myself. My senior year I went to a new school. WIthin a week, I gained 10 friends. Why? Because I started introducing myself.
I bet theres more circumstances but I'm really not thinking that much, haha.
