I've noticed so many people change dramatically when they are around strangers and away from the rents. How do you act? Do you act different?

Are you the:
Crazy Type
Annoying Type
Shy Type
Cool Type
Perverted Type
etc...


I think I do change I think I'm normally the crazy type that annoys all the strangers XD. You know the one everyone end sup hating.

Awkward type. Whenever I'm around strangers like people my sisters bring over or my parents friends I drop stuff and trip and ramble and dont make eye contact and use run on sentences.

I act as though someone's watching me. So I try not to make movements to obvious or predictable and I'm as calm as possible.

Well, many people have told me that I appear to be insensitive at first impressions. I must suffer from the Insensitive-a-hole Syndrome.

It depends. I get to know strangers better if they're outgoing, but if they're shy, I tend to be shy too.

In public i'm shy, and polite.

If I'm with multiple people my behavior sort of reflects theirs. Not that I am copying them, but I wouldn't behave loud and obnoxious if the group I'm with is quiet and reserved.

Oh yeah, I'll also try to be nice with someone I've just met.

You made a good point about that second part, too.

Overseas, the military tells us to blend in with the locals, making no actions, and wearing nothing that may expose our status with the USDOD. ph34r.gif

I am generally a warm person, but I'm the type that waits for someone to talk to me before joining a conversation if I'm around people I don't know. At school, around the music department, I feel really comfortable, so if I see a group of people standing around talking in a circle, I'll walk up and stand in the group and start talking as if I'd been there the whole time. xD

I say I'm awkward all the time, but I guess it's all about how you handle the awkwardness. :P

I'm usually really quiet, because I don't want to make an ass out of myself. ^^;

I have been told on an occasion or 2 or 20 that I can be a real a-hole in public. I am honestly as quiet as they come, and always aware of my surroundings.

I'm pretty cool, meeting new people doesn't phase me as much as it used to. I think I have my customer service job to thank for that!

on a normal day, i hold myself up. if i make eye contact with anyone, i try for a smile. sometimes i make random conversation and try to make people laugh.

if i've got a job to do, then i'll be taking fast, long steps and not looking too much at anything. my eyes always flicker around a little so i'm aware of my surroundings and faces of people to remember.

I'm usually shy and polite around strangers. Around friends, I'm loud, spontaneous and much warmer.

I think it's natural for some people to act different between those two types of people, especially if there's major age difference. Of course I act different, but not by that much.

There's a sense of conformity with other people's attitude and personalities, too.

I act weirder when I'm not around my mom. At school, I'm a little quieter than usual. I don't act that different, though.

Selvy, stop coming back to and disappearing from CB so sporadically!

i act differently with everyone

if the person is a flirt...i flirt back
if the person is shy...i talk to them
if the person is partying...i party with them
if the person is being quite...i'll just sit with them
if the person is crying.... cry.gif ....i usually cry with them

actually i just realized thats one of the rules at Mcdonalds
is to treat every customer differently XD.gif

Depends who im with. If it's someone older that are either my sister's or rent's friends, i am extremely anti social and just sit there and just, slowly die. i dunno.

When im around complete strangers, however. xD haha.
I give things to them that I find on the street, talk to them randomly, just approach ppl if i'm hyper.
If not, ill just keep to myself and do w/e.
