Anyone else quite and reserved until they really get to know someone.

I'm the same way, like someone said it's a gift and a curse, it keeps people you don't want to know away but on the other hand it makes good people have to get to know you.

The good thing is those people that do get to know you are usually the best friends you can possibly have.

How will they be in your life if they don't know who you are?

I'd like to think I'd attract individuals that can observe how I am. If they are interested then they'll make an effort. Just like with anything else in life. I'm not a go getter type of person but I'll sure make my interest known if that feeling is itching enough

I'm like that but I let people know from jump they have to earn my trust. I don't give that away easily if I really wanna get to know you I'll make the effort.

I've always been that way. I just observe; I'm an introvert. I'll talk more aroune people that are cool, but I stay away from the rest.

I have this problem too. How are you suppose to meet ppl and develop friendships early on if you are this way. Because for me, it takes awhile opening up to others. How are you suppose to get to know women if you don't talk that much and approach ppl in general.

I'm not the type to force my personality on people. You really gotta build your rapport with people in order to bring out more of yourself. I tend to see what kind of person I'm dealing with before I give out more of myself.

Im like this but Im this way now because I feel like people dont need to know who I am unless they are going to be in my life for more than a short period of time. It just seems pointless and a waste of energy.

This is me right here.
I started a temp job a few months ago thinking I wasn't going to be there for long so didn't bother to really get to know anyone.
I've been there for 6 months now and I probably seem like a closed off anti-social person. I might be there for the Christmas dinner and I'm thinking :why:

I always have the worst luck with introductions.....because somehow I wind up around people chatting about absolutely nothing I can relate to or have any interest....then they ask why I'm so quiet; which in turn, makes me just want to get away from them....
