Many Outgoing people are afraid to be different, does it mean Shy guys can be braver?
Although us shy antisocials are afriad of talking and being put on the spot, sometimes we do other things that outgoing talkative people would not dare to do in public.
For example, making faces. walking in different unusual ways, walking with eyes closed just for mental practice, skipping( like little kids do), pouting like little cute kids even if you’re a grown man,
I do all of this to my self when i go out walking or jogging and people see me and i don’t care. I do it for my self. I do it at the public park, in the street, etc.
And i don’t feel shy about it at all.
But i see outgoing loud people and when they are away from their group of friends, they never do this stuff. They are afriad to be different in this way.
So I think, social butterflies, get confidence from the group. but with no group many times, they are weak just like us shy’s.

That is wonderful. I hope you feel better. Now get out there and sing and dance and quit pretending you’re so dang shy.
I would say that makes you “quirky”, not necessarily “brave”.
It may also be that an outgoing person doesn’t have much motivation to act quirky when they are by themselves. It doesn’t necessarily mean they are afraid, but being silly with a group of people is not the same as doing it alone.
I don’t care what people think so I’ll do anything except whip out my weapon, & I don’t mean a gun, but get some drinks in me and that might change too. ;)
i agree with you (you weirdo) but the thing is the two people you’ve described aren’t mutually exclusive. you can be the not so shy guy who’s just as quirky. it’s not a trade off, it’s just a matter of what a person is used to. the more you practice something, like making faces in public, talking to strangers, talking to gorgeous members of the opposite sex, everything.. the more brave you will become at doing it.
Shy guys are pretty brave… but they wear stupid robes and they are pretty terrible little critters. I’m pretty sure they are team Bowser too. Which automatically loses points.
But they seem to be comfortable being assholes who nobody really likes.
Whatever makes them happy.
Yes, I believe it is very brave to overcome the natural aversion you are born with.
I’ll admit, and my friends and family would agree that I’m quirky, outgoing (and in some situations I’m an extrovert), nutty, and completely comfortable in my own skin. However, I do try to hold it in in certain social situations because it’s not ALL about me, after all.
@rangerr lolololololol… nintendo reference :D
I’d say this is an overgeneralization. There are many different types of shy and outgoing people and to say that shy people like to be different and outgoing people only like to blend in, isn’t always true.
For example, some people only look outgoing when they’re with a group of close friends, but are socially inept in other situations. So in that case, yeah, they probably get confidence from being comfortable in their group. They would therefore be a shy person who wants to blend in. Y/N?
Oh, and shy people aren’t weak. As a former very shy person, I understand why you feel this way… but it’s not a very nice thing to say about yourself, especially since it’s not even true.
I’ve found that walking with my eyes closed is an excellent way to snag five of the 40 winks that you actually need.
