A bit, I guess. Like the majority of Escapists according to the poll, I feel more comfortable talking to friends or at least people I already know.
I can talk professionally with strangers, though.

I'm a jack of all trades, and a master of one.
I like to keep my options open.

Not a victim of social-anxiety (girls tend not to like that very much - so I got over that fast), but anti-social is something I readily choose at times based on my opinion of people. I'd rather have a handful of close friends, than a group of casual ones. I'm an asshole, I take things very seriously, I don't play games, and i'm not here to be your friend if you're even slightly incapable of holding my attention. I'm here to succeed. Bask in my success. And repeat the process until I die. Should your personality be good enough to get me wet (a rare event), I will gladly talk to and befriend you. Should you be a female, I have met my equal and there's a potential relationship. And that's that.

I love people, I talk to strangers and I enjoy the company of my friends, unfortunately I am so mentally unstable that I tend to endce fear and have a self imposed tendency to avoid talking to people who aren't my friends

I tend to freeze up in social events and apparently i start looking depressed and stuff, but i think i'm just shy. I have a great time with my friends and once i get to know people i have no problem. And apparently i'm very likable. I don't know why.

I'm not anti social. Not sure why so many are either.
You quickly find out who would make a good friends and who wouldn't. The amount of people I've had to get rid of in my life because they were negative is astounding, but I can't have those people being negative in my life, I'm all about the positive and the future.
And unless you're not a regular here you would know that I'm blunt, on here as well as in real life, I tend to tell things how they are instead of sugarcoating things. In return I have some of the most "realist" friends ever and those who can't handle my bluntness or forward nature I no longer see or converse with, it's win win all around.

Anti social in the sense I prefer to do my own thing and generally do that alone however I can talk to people without a second thought and even establish friendships in the blink of an eye. I simply enjoy my solitary especially when it comes to gaming where I stick to retro RPGs all of which are one player.

I'm not anti-social. I just get really nervous around new people so I don't tend to stay quiet.

I'm not really antisocial. I'm not really shy either. I just find socialising difficult.
I have no idea how it works.
And I don't really like doing stuff I'm not very good at.

It's much easier to just say I'm shy/antisocial, though. So I usually do.

I'm not anti-social. My social skills might have been left on the curb for three days after it was born, but i'm not shy. I absolutely love sharing and presenting.

And surprisingly, I have no problem talking to girls.

On the other side of the coin, I am not popular, and frankly I am just another nobody in the sea of nobodies in my school. I have no problem with that though. I like my isolation sometimes.

I've become somewhat anti-social in terms of trying to talk to new people. I just can't get up and walk over to someone and start a conversation. I can talk to anyone and everyone online. I just have a small problem with first impressions. Once I'm over that barrier, I'm very open and social. It's just that first step that hinders me greatly.

I wouldn't say I'm anti-social. I'll gladly talk to anyone. It's just that due to my earlier years in life I am paranoid about talking to new people, so I usually don't approach them myself. But I can still interact with other people normally.

Sometimes I'm more nervous about talking to people on this website. Most people here are smarter than me and can easily make me look like an idiot.

I'm quite shy but willing to make friends.

If I'm drunk too, I'll be your best buddy :D

A lot of people (myself included) talk about on this forum how they suffer from social anxiety and the like well not suffer but I've seen people mention being nervous about talking to people and approaching people or being misanthropes, or spending a large amount of time at home.
Me for instance I can't talk to anyone if they don't talk to me unless I know them and talking to girls makes me incredibly nervous causing me to always not look at them, stutter, or mumble.I try to avoid people on weekends and my mom is constantly bothering me about inviting someone over, and I fail at small talk with people I don't know well. I'm not completly anti-social I do have friends I know well over I just don't have many of them at school.

How about you?
hmmm, I used to be the same except I had girls who were friends, now... well, I'm still not all that different. Most my friends were made in high school and are my best friends, but ever since we finished school, (or rather ever since I decided to wait and start uni next year after doing a course in the first trimester) I've hardly seen them. I used to be fairly social atleast around them but now I have this continuous feeling that I'm bringing the mood down and halting everyone elses enjoyment so I generally just stay at home when I can despite social invitations. I guess I just gotta get outta that habbit.
