I realize that many extroverts or people who like to talk don't like shy people. and besides, they see shy people as weak.

it's funny because shy people also apparently don't like people who love to talk, xdd

why is there such contempt for shy people? I've also read that shy people are selfish. what do you think of that? I can't see any selfishness in shy people. shy people may be insecure, nervous or embarrassed, but I can't see anything selfish.

I'm pretty shy and well extroversion is just really narcissim and toxicity at the end of the day to be honest.

I don't understand why someone would hate a shy person JUST because they are shy and for no other reason. I think everyone should be liked as long as they aren't awful people

Neutral, but leaning on not liking them. I look at it as a math problem.

The opportunities to find a common ground with a non-shy person are GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO the opportunities with a shy person.

I don't judge shy people, but if I'm trying to be friends with you, you have to at least respond to my effort for us to get somewhere beyond acquaintances.

Well, that's like answering if I like myself or not lol. However, I never felt hostility towards me for being like that. Maybe I'm lucky, who knows. In fact two of my closest friends are extroverted and we're perfectly alright. One time, one of them 'noted' my passiveness -or lack of assertiveness- and that but we talked about it and that's all, no problem. Maybe the key to success it's just respect the boundaries.

I don't really care, I'm shy myself. And people who are also shy are typically boring to talk to, since I'm not starting the conversation either.

it is funny that extaverted individuals like to call introverted ones "boring". the reality is that the higher you are on extraversion the less you are internally stimulated so that you seek out external stimuli. so in fact the extraverted people are the boring people. the introverted ones have enough going on inside their minds that they don't need all that social stuff to not be bored.

Honestly I would rather be introverted than extroverted. Being extroverted has caused me more harm than good. I honestly much rather be by myself and not be bothered by other people, as much as I try to be a recluse it doesn't ever work. I don't prefer either over the other though, just too extroverted people tend to be annoying IMO

shy people are okay as long as theyre not boring. being untalkative is boring but with most shy people once theyre comfortable around you they have weird and interesting shit to say.

I don't mind it when people are shy. What I do mind is when people make statements and expect me and my pea brain to concoct a response. I'm too stupid to know how to respond to a fact, I can't think of something other than "Yes, that is true."

I'm an extrovert. Why the heck would I hate a shy/introverted person? Why would I reduce someone to just this. They are a person with feelings after all and there is more to them than just their way of acting around others.

I've never seen any shy people tbh, it's like I'm the only introverted one in my highschool class. But I would be friends with anyone who shares the same struggles as mine.

I'm okay with shy people as long as they respond somewhat. It's impossible to deal with someone who never responds to anything. You just have to leave those people alone for the time being.

Beside, I'm pretty shy myself too; It takes me a long while to get to know and be comfortable with people too. Until I go crazy.

i don't dislike them. being a shy person, i kinda can relate to them so i don't mind them. i'll try to talk to them but if they're mega shy, then i'd probably just ignore them or something.

I'm introverted, but I have no problem striking up conversations with strangers who appear to be 40 or older.

On the other hand, I never speak to young people, regardless of whether they're introverted or not. I simply hate young people.

I don't mind them, I like having some alone time for myself too but if I'm with others I would prefer them to be more extroverted since awkward silence makes me anxious to find something to talk about which I'm not always good at.

meh. To me it doesn't make a difference as long as you aren't an asshole lol (but I do think "good-natured assholes" exist xD)

I don't care if you're introverted, extroverted or ambiverted. just that we connect. I'm not very talkative IRL, and I find beauty in just peace and quiet.

Not shy, not me.~

Anyway, I used to be really shy, but I mostly got over it when I stopped giving a Shrek. You can be a shy extrovert, which is what I was (and to some degree, still am). Still, I can sympathize and realize shyness is wayyyyy more common than I thought

I don't mind as I'm quite shy myself. Sometimes people appear snobby but are just shy, and that is when it is difficult to differentiate.

I'm pretty sure I'm just an ambivert confused as an introvert because of lots of anxiety. I'm more introverted than extroverted, but the definition of ambivert makes a lot more sense.
It's difficult to talk to untalkative people as I'm not a conversation starter type of person, so I'd prefer people that can communicate quite a bit, so, the occasional introvert and ambiverts and extroverts. I can do pretty well with extroverts, I think. I won't be as extroverted as them when I'm around them, but I can definitely up my confidence with them and will respond whenever they talk to me, and over time I'd be trying to start conversations instead of them. I really cherish my time with people so I'd prefer them to not get socially drained out as quickly. Theme parks, cinemas, cafes, they all sound really fun if that person's engaging very often with me, otherwise it'd be pretty silent.

i think you mean like introverted people? i like them a lot but i mean as a quiet and introverted person myself it can be hard to befriend another one of my sort lol. i am bad at starting conversations by myself but if someone else starts talking and if i am cool with them i can hold conversations easily. i am much better at listening than talking about myself.

but well... give introverts a chance to open up and let them get comfortable.

i don't dislike extroverted people since i have extroverted friends too but i really can't get along with the type who won't shut up and can't listen. that is just inconsiderate.

well, as a socially anxious extrovert... shy people are usually very easy to approach! and from personal experience? they make for the best friends as well!

when i was in middle school i met a shy girl who i befriended after some time. it was hard to get close at first, but she was always very kind and caring and eventually she opened up a little more.

it turns out she was raised into believing her voice didn't matter, so she just kinda gave up on making friends after a few years of feeling ignored. whether it was intentional or not, i'm not sure, but she always made it a point to tell me that shy people are talkative as well at times, if not even more talkative than most extroverts.

she has social anxiety and, as mentioned above, i do as well. we just coped with it in different ways.

unfortunately we haven't talked in a while, and it's been YEARS since middle school, but i do think about her every now and again. i hope she's doing alright.

Shy people like myself at work anyway do not really respond much which causes contempt or neutrality from extroverts. I like shy people as I am shy myself (while not online or at home). I do not mind extroverts though I doubt much at work like me much. Lol

I like shy people, but sometimes they just need some encouragement. I sometimes get shy around people who I just met/don't care to talk to. It's like giving the cold shoulder. But after getting to know someone opening up is pretty easy and fun.
