Poll: How social are you? (real life)

[Vault101]

Just curious really, and I don't mean online I mean real life

for me I don't mind socialising but I dont do it often, though mabye you know you have a problem when your parents are telling (threataning) you to use facebook, I never used facebook much in the first place, But I supose I can go and write pointless crap on there if it makes them happy (sorrt venting frustrations here)

 

[Hashime]

Well, I don't mind social interaction, I go out some times and I can talk to anyone. That does not mean I am the life of the party though. I am fine on my own or with others. I don't really care either way.

I also refuse to use facebook, MSN, or any of those other stupid social networking sites.

 

[Sassafrass]

Eh, not very. I have a girlfriend and a close friend, and that's more then good enough for me. Plus I've never been too social. Even at parties, you'd find me in the corner, away from all the hubbub.

If I include online, probably about 5 or 6 people who have helped me through a few rough
patches when they've hit, like my cousin dying from cancer, things like that. I do have a Facebook myself but most of the people I used to see often on there have moved on and forgotten about me.

 

[Stormz]

Social anxiety, I want to be social but really can't do it. So I guess I would choose "I hang with people now and again though not often"

I don't have any close friends so I don't get much interaction outside of family.

 

[darkless]

Surprisingly social, I'm out every other day of the week with my Either my friends from college, my best friend or my girlfriend.

 

[Ice Car]

Well, if you count online interaction, very. Real life conversations/interactions? Rarely. I only have a small pool of friends and don't go out actively looking for them; I don't engage in conversation unless absolutely necessary; I avoid all social situations... I'm not reluctant to help others at times and talk with others if they start a conversation with me though, which is usually how I make friends.

In short; I'm a typically very antisocial person when it comes to social interactions in general, save for the occasional conversation someone else starts with me; I have a few friends, and don't go actively seeking any.

 

[Wadders]

I'm pretty social, but only within a close circle of old friends, and a slightly wider circle of newer Uni friends, who are gradually merging with the other group. I dont really meet new people any more, and if I do, I dont seem to form strong connections with them.

But within those groups I'm very social, going out, getting drunk with them, or just chilling and generally having a good time. I'd like to meet new people I guess, but its not a big issue in my life.

And i dont wanna sound mean, but facebook is only really any use if you have mates in real life. Then you can use it to gat into contact, organise stuff, or jsut have a chat. I cant imagine it being great for jsut adding randoms and trying to make friends that way...

 

[p3t3r]

i am usually rent a movie and chill with any where form 2 to like 7 or 8 people every Friday and Saturday. i usually like to go over to a friends house after school put there is work and girlfriends so that doesn't happen as often as it used to. i'm going to a party this Friday but i usually stay away from parties to many people i don't care at all about and to loud of music.

 

[Phlakes]

I love how nobody picked the first option yet.

 

[DasDestroyer]

Anti-social :/
I only have a handful of friends and meeting new people is torture.

 

[Del-Toro]

I have a circle of friends, but I'm not really very social. It seems like so much trouble, and frankly, very few people I run into seem worth that trouble.

 

[TriGGeR_HaPPy]

I love seeing my friends as much as possible, so... I do.
Simple as that, really.

A few are coming over for a couple nights starting tonight, in fact.

So, yea. Second poll choice for me. ^_^

EDIT:

Well, that's certainly what I use Facebook for, and it's one of the reasons I like it so much.
This year I'll be in my second year of uni, and my friends will be too. Some will be starting their first year this year. But we're all going to different uni's around the state (some are going to different parts of the country).

Facebook is another easy way to keep in touch with them, a way that I need. Hell, over Facebook, one of my closest circles of friends have already organised a mid-year break trip to catch up again, renting a house for 11 of us for 3 nights. Of course there are other ways to organise it, but over Facebook, we organised who'd be able to go, how much it'd cost, and paying one of the girls in our group so she could organise renting the house for us, all in about 2 hours max.

Facebook definitely seems to help with being social with the friends you already have, even if it's not the best place to meet new people like you said...

 

[BreakfastMan]

I am not a very social person at all in real life. I never talk to anybody. I have few (if any) friends. I detest crowds. It is not that I hate people, I just do not find it easy to talk to people and make friends. I guess I am afraid of saying the "wrong thing" and insulting people or creeping them out...

 

[Sneeze]

I'm a bit on an enigma I guess, I'm quite a geek, I'm quite shy around new people, can lack confidence etc etc. But at the same time I love socialising with those people I do know well, and once I've gotten past the in initial awkwardness of meeting someone new, with new people to. I just hate them awkward silences.

Guess I'm an extrovert in an introverts body or something.

 

[Blueruler182]

This is my second day of the weak outside of a warehouse for the day and the biggest thing I've done thus far was find out that I can spell words on an invisible floating keyboard in the air by spelling out the titles of the Zero Punctuation episode I happen to be watching, and before finishing this paragraph I wrote Batman in the air. Yeah, I'm the life of the party.

Though, to be fair, that's more because my friends have all moved away after high school... I'm depressed now, I'm going to spell Daredevil in my mind.

 

[Sleekgiant]

This topic made me remember I have no real friends....

 

[Skratt]

I moved around a lot and often found myself a bit out of the way, so now that I have a family, I find that most of my friends I keep in touch with I do so online. We do have a few local friends we get together with every couple of months. Sometimes my online friends don't see me for months at a time. I've never really cared to stay friends with those who need constant interaction or who resent my logging off for extended periods. If someone I know vanishes for 6 months and comes back, I'll have no problems treating them as if they never left.

 

[MasterChief892039]

The only social interaction I really desire is that of a romantic nature. I have a serious boyfriend that I see whenever possible, and one semi-good friend that I go out with about once a month, but other than that I don't talk to people that often. I just don't have a need for it.

 

[Aur0ra145]

Party hard, party often. One of the many things I learned in college
