I loosened up after I stopped caring what people think of me.

Is it important to you that other people know that you don't care what they think of you?

Often, people like this are indimitated by loud, extroverted people.

Personally, I've found people like this are usually pretty smart and interesting once you get em talking (usually it's one to one, somewhere away from the noise monkeys), though I do remember one girl who everyone thought was sweetly quiet, until one day she got sort of drunk, and confided to someone (who told me) she'd fantasise about walking down a busy street holding a bag full of babies' heads [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

That wasn't funny, I can tell you.

I was the same as Tony, and yes. I hated being judged and looked down upon until I said 'fk it, if you're like that then I'm not gonna try and be your friend'. A lot of it comes from trying to be everyone's friend, and it just isn't the case. You can't please everyone.

I have a buddy like this. We can go out to dinner with the guys, and he will say maybe five sentences, but two of them will be the funniest two things said by anyone during the dinner.

He is never out of line, I've never heard him insult anyone, and he pretty much never complains. Needless to say, everyone likes him.

Dude, Carlo reads OOT. He's gonna know you posted about him.

It's not how much you say, but what you say. Filling air is fun, but often unneccessary. The best conversations are ones where almost nothing needs to be said, yet everything is perfectly understood.

Dude, that pic is a scream.

I was pretty quiet til my mid 20's. I took some effort to be more communicative and social. I wouldn't say I was the life of the party but I still had fun.
My friend used to pipe me quite a bit about being so quiet during social gatherings. I think he just felt I should be more like him when in fact I was just me.
I think I just need to get to know people a little bit first before I feel comfortable.

These kind of people like to sit back and observe.

He's lucky - does so little and still can be easily accepted. Pshhtt
