Whenever I am at work sometimes people will talk to me. I hardly choose to start conversations though. It is usually someone else that starts the conversation. I usually talk to my parents, my sister, and her boyfriend everyday. Mainly I just stay in my parent's basement and play video games, watch television, or read.

Overall I am not a very social person. I am happy that I am not very social. It gives me more free time to let me do the things that I want to do instead of what other people want me to do.

I enjoy a rather large circle of friends and I like to meet new people. At parties I'm usually the one to start conversations. But about two or three times a year I get my "lone wolf" phase for about two weeks. That's when I don't even phone people and have some intense videogame sessions.

Somewhat, I'd put myself between option 2 and option 3. I like hanging out with friends, and I'd do so whenever I get the chance. I'm not a huge fan of parties though, I mainly like talking to smaller groups. Less than 5 or 6 people or so would be a good sized group for me, I don't really do the whole going from person to person at a party kinda thing. Plus, I like talking to friends a lot more than strangers.

I like hanging out with people, but I'm not really good at meeting people and getting on with them well, unless we have something really specific in common. As for online, I'm improving that right now! :)

Im a bit of a miserly old git to be honest- I like people but cant stand being around them for too long, after 4-5 hours and I just want to sit down with a book somewhere

I hang out with some friends, but it's not very common. Only around once every month or so. I do interact with those same friends all the time almost every day online tho.

I'm not very social. I spend two evenings a week at uni either playing go, or making games with some people. Other than that I'm pretty much alone at home.

Even though I am quite pleasant to be around, as in people do seem to like me. And I do absolutely love to meet and talk to people. Unfortunately, very little of the stuff that goes on in uni are things that I would enjoy, so I'm pretty much left with a fairly secluded lifestyle.

Though that is leaving aside my difficulties approaching people.

Well, I hate social people at least. I despise bars, clubs, parties, whatever alcohol-derivative, pointless, money-wasting trash people get up to these days. When I'm around anime fans or video game enthusiasts then I'm fine, because these people are less judgemental and irritating than normal people, contrary to popular belief. Normal people play derivative radio trash while you're trying to study, keep you awake by banging things and screaming at 3 in the morning and consider the Twilight saga a literary masterpiece. To be honest, I don't even want to be social. It's overrated.

I get all the social interaction I need from school and Explorer scouts, other than that, I rarely go out with people unless there is snow in which case we go sledging or cycling if it's sunny and warm.

I'm not super social... I rarely make new friends and I only have a couple of friends that I hang out with on a semi-regular basis. I would spend more time with them if I could. But nowadays everyone are so busy with work and school.

I make it a point only to be around people who don't annoy me. Almost all of my friends are good friends I'd share all kinds of stuff with. But I'm also a curious person, so I'll chat it up with strangers if they intrigue me. Life is kinda short and the world is pretty big, you know? Why not.

I honestly don't keep track of how social I am. I talk because I am social creature, not because I like to keep a quota. This is a silly question, if you ask me. :p

I'd say I've gotten more social. Used to never go out, but now I go out whenever I get the opportunity. Past 1.30-2am though, I tend to head home. I don't know, maybe it's because most people are drunk by then and I just tend to not have spending money. That, or they've hit really dancy club with too loud music to socialise.

Very anti-social. I'm great with co-workers and people I'm forced to be around for long periods of time. But I'm terrible at any kind of extended interaction. I very much prefer independence and that shows as I pretty much never leave the house save for work and errands and walks.

Irony much?
