Poll: How social are you? (real life)

[The_Echo]

I'm relatively social. I managed to get a good slew of friends all in just the previous school year, the majority of which being female, so I'd call myself a success.

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten to hang out with them too much lately, but that might just be because winter really, really sucks where I live, and none of us drive, or feel like walking in that.

 

[Nerdygamer89]

Honestly I'm only ever home to sleep, eat, or if I have absolutely nothing better to do. College FTW. I'm one of those people who prefers hanging with a tight-knit group of friends rather than partying with different people every night though.

 

[ZeroAE]

6th option. None of the above. AKA lonely.

 

[Jake0fTrades]

I tried being social, didn't like it. I'm fine with just me, a single close friend and every 10-Year-old, sound-barrier breaking brat on Black Ops.

Working 6 days a week, not having a car, and having only about 5 real friends, with only 1 of them living within walking distance of me means that I really don't have much of a social life.

 

[Reptiloid]

I cross the street to avoid walking past people. Enough said.

 

[Angerwing]

I used to be fairly asocial as a kid, but I grew out of that. Got a job as a salesman, so my confidence and public speaking skills grew like crazy. Now I'm the most stranger-friendly out of pretty much all my friends.

I am such an intruder I never leave my house. I'm going Howard Hughes on your asses. I have the urine jars to prove it. I would invite you over to see them but... oh god the horrors...

 

[SimuLord]

I have a few male friends for watching sports and doing frat-boy things.

I have a few female friends for casual dinner-and-movie dates, but nothing serious---I don't currently have a girlfriend or even a fuck buddy/FWB. Just a couple of girls I go out to dinner with from time to time (not at the same time) and another in another state who's a regular phone companion and confidante.

Beyond that, I'm quite content in solitude.

 

[Julianking93]

I'm a highly shy introvert who despises most people my age.

So no, I'm not social. I stay in and if I go out, I'm by myself or with my mum's friends.

 

[SovietSecrets]

I get together with my friends whenever they are in town. A lot of them went off to different colleges not locally.

 

[Jack Macaque]

I'm not a social butterfly or a attention whore, but I do lift the mood when I walk in a room, probably because I have this really good aura about me, I'm always cheerful and optimistic, guess it rubs off on people.

 

[Creator002]

Is it bad when you think of a sunburn as another way to get out of meeting with your friends?

I'm not so social. I don't go out much, with or without anyone. I mainly stay at home in my room on my computer.
Xbox doesn't get much use anymore (online and off) Only play it when I'm really bored.

 

[Gxas]

I hang out with people now and again.

I am a fairly sociable person, but, the problem is that I am very socially awkward. I don't really know how to behave around people and am usually the guy who "kills the conversation". No matter who I'm with, people just don't react well to things I say. I'm not some prick who says disgusting things either, its just normal, everyday things and people don't react the same way as they do when other people address the same topics.

I feel it is in the way I speak. But I can't be too sure. All I know is that I have plenty of friends, but they're all very situational with me. It's sad, but I don't know of any way to fix it.

 

[Kevlar Eater]

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

Welcome to the club.

 

[Sancrkf]

Same as online... Have a few friends, but in general I rather be by myself.

 

[MrMixelPixel]

I used to be incredibly asocial. I just didn't care for friends or anything of that nature. At least, that's what helped me sleep at night. It was probably a combination of not relating with people, my inability to hold up a conversation, and... another third thing.

While I wouldn't consider myself social now... I did manage to gain some friends at my new school last year. I have about 6 friends that I'd consider closish. (add ish on to the end certain words and they become an adjective... =D ) I have more people that I suppose I could consider friends... although, most of them I honestly don't care about.

So yeah... still asocial, but improving.

 

[Stammer]

I hang out with friends as often as I can. Unfortunately that usually means only about once a week. Saturdays are my "hang-out" days typically.

Or if I feel like being completely surrounded by nerds, I'm technically a part of a club at school. I don't do it often because... without sounding harsh, I get over-nerded. It's seriously a room built to hold like 5 people, and there's always 30 people in there eating cheeseburgers and fries, quoting Yahtzee, and watching Anime from sunrise to sunset while making Dungeons and Dragons jokes.

My friends are WEEEEEIRD.

 

[natster43]

I talk to people at school, but only really hang out with one friend outside of school.

 

[Tdc2182]

Kind of a quiet guy.

Considering the size of the school I go to, i have quite a few friends who I am very loud and obnoxious with, I don't have a girlfriend but I do have a friend with benefits who just isn't quite ready to start a relationship with me (we've made out and she really likes me, just still upset over her cheating boyfriend. I asked her out today. Most not sad rejection I've ever had).

Random strangers, I kinda falter a bit. Really not a talking guy, and I barely ever try to make a move towards friendship with someone.
