    im the exact same way when i first meet a person. i have to feel a certain level of comfort before i can just be 100% myself

    Yeah me too. I'm not old or anything tho but yeah that's pretty much me. I've seen to many fake ppl do and say phony ? so before i know someone i kinda analyze them and their behavior..once i see they cool ppl..i open up.

    I'd be roasted into oblivion.

    oh and for the record, i have no issue with introverts..i like all ppl

    i have my days where i dont wanna talk to anyone. like yesterday aint even leave the house

    but dont front: when youre with a group of ppl and that ONE person dont be saying ? ..
    it can be sorta awkward

    It depends. It's probably more awkward for that one person not saying anything. If it's your first time being around a group of people and they're talking about ? that doesn't involve you, what are you supposed to say?

    Personality Trait

    It can be supressed to a certain extent, but it's something that doesn't just go away when you get older.

    I'm not shy, but I'm often disinterested or nonchalant and people may misread it as shyness.... and I don't do a good job feigning interest unless a reward is involved (money or maybe ? ).

    hell yea

    back in my wild days we used to let people be friendly and tell us everything about them and then we get to talkin bout what you got in yo house, how much money you got

    friendly ? dont pay attention to caonversation, they talkin about themselves so much but aint hearing nothin from us

    then surprised when they get robbed lol

    shouldnt be so damn friendly

    You make small talk. Talk about the weather, ask them if theyve seen the latest movie, what team theyre rooting for and why. i mean i'd hope that eventually SOMETHING they you'd have an opinion on.

    i often hear people say, "well i dont have anything to say to that ? so i dont wanna be fake so i aint gonna say ? ."

    small talk isnt "being fake". small talk is more of a social pleasantry than anything else, as opposed to just standing there like a terminator.

    I agree with what you're saying but it really depends on the situation. For example: while I can be the one making small talk to fit in, they can also make an active attempt to add me into the discussion. It goes both ways. Some people don't even attempt to make the new person feel welcome or comfortable.

    Either some type of business or law....

    I'm going to dedicate my college years to education and focus and nothing else.

    I'll be too focused to not suceed.

    Werd you right about that. BUT it is primarily your responsibility to get in. I mean if you are the one that wants to be social

    I was just giving a reason as to why someone might be shy/quiet while around a group of people.

    I'm not "shy", I am however laid back and observant. I take in my surroundings and get a feel for what is going on. That might come off as me being quiet at first but I have no problem holding conversations and getting involved in group discussions provided I feel comfortable. I'm not a social butterfly in the least bit but hold my own in group dynamics although I prefer small groups/1 on 1.
