Poll: How social are you? (real life)

[Tulks]

Depends a lot on my mood. Mild SAD makes it hard for me to approach people sometimes (or, especially, to call anyone), but once I'm warmed up I'll talk to anyone. I suppose years of bartending have also helped with that; I was definitely worse back in high school/early uni.

 

[Evilsanta]

Friends? Being social? What are these things you speak of?

OT: I only am social with friends. With new people...Not so much though I can talk to them.

 

[The Rockerfly]

There are other people? I thought it was just me and computer AIs which I talk to every day online and what the hell is an "outside"?

 

[TriggerOnly]

Its not that I hate people, its just I like very few.

 

[thiosk]

Eh, not very.

I don't see how you have time for anything, with that many posts.

 

[Tiger Sora]

I don't go actively out n' such. Lost contact with alot of my old friends. Half of wich were drug users (Never did em myself). Though when I do talk to people I'm very sociable and likable. Lots of people like me, I just don't leave the house much. To much time to waste playing WoW and my newer better hobby of reading.

Though I'm not a naturally sociable person, I've made a lot of effort to fix that in the last few years. As a result I have a devoted girlfriend, a few good friends, and tend to get on well with most people once I become familiar with them.
I do have a problem with some people though, as some talk to me as though they were my best friends in college, they've even said... well, some stuff that was frankly a bit weird, but they seem to have a strange aversion to going out anywhere that my close friends and I go on a night out. Having said that, if they want to forsake a pub with a great crowd and good atmosphere for a club where hordes of people are literally packed in too tightly to move, thats just poor taste on their part.

I'm not very sociable at all. I happily go months without seeing friends anywhere except facebook, and when we do set a date to meet up, I dread it right up until I get there.

I do enjoy meeting friends once we get there though.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

Have been described by parents as a 'social leper' on more than one occassion though that's mostly just good natured ribbing. I'm a bit misanthropic, I hate the majority of people and feel dread and anxiety when going to social get togethers particularly ones where I feel pressured or coerced to go. I'm happy when hanging around with friends and happy to go to parties (invovlement of booze does make things easier) though generally happier when in smaller crowds, but don't mind the lack of socialising so much as I'm perfectly fine with my own company.

I usually go out with my mates alot. Usually to the pub or that at weekends. Not many other social events unless there's a party going on. Into films aswell and usually me and girlfriend go and see what's the latest at the cinema. When I'm not doing that it's just school, reading, music, gaming (obviously lol) and films. Would like to think I'm quite social.

 

[rutger5000]

Would be the life of the party and everybody lookS at me. (It's nothing I want it's something that happens). I just don't have the time to go to parties very often. Therefor I stick with the second action.
for all the social anxiety people. I used to be that way, it's something you can get over from. I only needed to chance my mind set, which was much easier then I thought it would. (Though that last bit doesn't need to be the same for everyone.)

 

[PixelKing]

I have my 5 guys at school.
I'm hated by everyone else because in real life I swear a lot. And listen to rock music.

 

[DoomyMcDoom]

I hang out with friends as much as possible, which gets slim now and again due to working so much... but Work kinda makes me more social than I'd be otherwise, I'm kinda a fixture in the neighbourhood where I work, so I get to know alot of people over short periods of time... I like to have conversations with people who are in essense usually just customers at first, who look like there's something they wanna talk about, if they look happy/excited i may ask em what's new and they may end up asking me stuff, then they may end up chatting with me at work more than once a day depending... I mean a lot of em I'd hang out with if i had any free time, some of em have even invited me to get togethers, or told me i should go drinking with them that night... I'm sad to say however I've declined MANY a request based on needing to work a lot to pay bills, but once my room mate gets more work I can drop some of the hours I've been stuck working extra and unwind some... just hope he gets his ass in gear before i go insane... I kid... but still I'm already insane to some degree... rather it not get worse...

 

[Verlander]

I'm incredibly social, but didn't vote the top one because that's not about being social, that's about being attention seeking

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

Depends. Either I like the people I'm around and I'm very social (this is the least frequent,) I'm indifferent towards or don't like the people I'm around and go out of my way not to socialize (by far the most frequent,) or I hate the people I'm around and I'm facetiously social for the sake of pushing their buttons.

 

[Mr Cwtchy]

I'm about as non social as a person can get.

Which I realise is a serious problem, so hopefully getting a job might help with that :/

 

[Mr Pantomime]

I guess im not very social. I have a lot of good friends, but I dont see them very often. Not because im busy, I just feel that I need a good reason to go see them, not just "because I feel like it". This kind of thing stops me from getting closer to people.

As for meeting new people, it really depends what mood im in. I can smile, and talk to anyone about anything, but Im bad at talking in a group situation though. I always get cut off before I even start talking.

However, when I do feel like going out, to meet people and do stuff, theres nowhere to go. We have bars (I dont drink, also I have to drive) and a movie theater. Suicide Capital of the world indeed

 

[Nemu]

I hang out when I can, but I'm perfectly capable of entertaining myself.

When my gf and I happen to be off at the same time, we'll hang out both at home and venture out, but neither of us is into clubbing or partying. (Admittedly, because I've worked nights for over a decade, my interest in socializing with anyone who doesn't work a similar shift has lessened.)

I don't go out of my way to keep in contact with schoolmates or other friends, but we do email and hit each other up on FB or via text, tho.

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

I hang out with friends nearly every night of the week, so, er, social? I can't stand being stuck in the house, so I find any and every excuse to get out and have a laugh with my mates.
