    @DevilDog09@xanga - But that is what I said, read my first comment. I think I even copy and pasted. Wow XD
    And yes, I have admitted before that I am very much inarticulate. So I do need generalizations to keep my sentences as short as possible. Is that a problem with you?

    She didn't show me anything. She responded with "That is not true at all.". Oh yea, she sure showed me my place /sarcasm.
    Can you please tell me what I implied? Because if anything its what you take from it. Just because you assumed something doesn't mean it's what I meant. I said that shy people usually have sucky personalities and from what I've gotten in my life it's true. Notice the usually, not always. And the fact that I can say anything about their personalities means I get to know them. Is there something wrong with getting to know a person before deciding their character? I hope not. I think maybe you just feel like calling me an idiot because I have a negative view about any group. Unfortunately for you, I'm allowed to have whatever view. Even then: "Your comments just show how immature, narcissistic and self-involved people like you are." I guess you have negative comments about groups too.

    @MangoWOW@xanga - Wait-- you think you're introverted? I don't understand, then, because in your past 4 comments, you've described shy people as having "sucky personalities" and being "selfish and annoying." I'm not sure how you could possibly believe such things when you have what I would assume to be an excellent example of how wrong those statements are: yourself (unless you have horrible self-esteem).

    You also just talked about how you always take the time to get to know everyone, but why would you be doing that if you hated it? And, how have you gotten to know so many people, but then go on to say that you have "barely any friends."

    @noselfdestruct@xanga - I said they usually, not always, have sucky personalities. And one of the traits I assigned them was selfish, which I am. I know myself enough to list my bad traits.

    I do try to get to know people because it's the right thing to do. Maybe I should have made this clear, I'm not as introverted as I once was. Nowadays I try to force myself to talk to people I don't know. I still don't have a lot of friends because I still have problems with shyness. However, since I've begun this whole 'treatment' of forcing myself I have made a couple of friends.
    And to me there is a difference between a friend and "someone you know". Just because I took the time to get to know them doesn't mean I've gone buddy buddy. lol

    @noselfdestruct@xanga - How so?

    25 minutes, you're online, still no response..... i see.

    btw, I still don't see any contradictions?

  • MangoWOW@xanga

    Let me see.... I accept that not every shy person sucks so I make sure to get to know people before making a decision....

    yea... I'm so ridiculous. /sarcasm

    @noselfdestruct@xanga - 


    lol it's so funny how she thinks she's notoriously proving everyone wrong but she's not.
  • MangoWOW@xanga

    @Kaythan@xanga - its funny how you think there are wrongs and rights in the matter of opinion when it comes to preference. lol

  • sumeoj@xanga

    @noselfdestruct@xanga - haha out of boredom and insomnia i just read all of the comments- i think i get what's going on for her:

    1. hating to take the time in getting to break shy people out of their shell

    it seems like her priority is more along the line of amassing as many friends as possible (or at least a fairly decent number) so taking the time in getting to know someone is very much less desireable. (it's pretty much a decision between quality vs quantity)

    2. disliking the personality of..well..i guess, most, introverted people

    since she listed selfishness as one of the traits for "sucky" personality, i think it would make sense why she acts the way she does- from my twenty years of experience (not that much but ah, well, what can i do), i've learned that the more selfish a person is, the more sensitive they are to the level of selfishness in other people. and because selfish people tend to gravitate away from other selfish people due to their desire to take far more than they receive (if paired up with another selfish person, they wouldnt get what they wanted since the other would also be trying to take from them), she would be more inclined to reject more people.

    ..oh boy i hope that made sense, it is 4:40AM in the morning afterall...

    oh yeah, back to topic at hand- first impressions do a lot for me but unfortunately if she's really cute/pretty/hot, i wont be able to tell what she's like since i'd be too dsitracted by her face/body to actually assess her character/personality. the biggest indicator of what she's like is how she treats others who can't do anything for her (or is below her social status)- i think that shows what she's really like.

  • Insomnia_Pickles_XtraTomato@xanga

    its getting to the point where its petty arguments all over the comment board.

    personally, i'm shy, slash awesome

    i like the quiet ones, the dorks, i have the easiest time finding things in common with them naturally - no forcing self to do anything. but - people have said i'm most fun at parties.

    my bf is equally dorky - i think when it comes down to it, its the range of uniqueness and quirky sense of humor. (he's the weirdest kid i've ever met)

    peace

  • colormethespian@xanga

    Well - I generally take in the whole picture, but...whenever I have to be skeptical and think about truly...considering them, hah...I look at their teeth. I have a thing for them...I hate crooked teeth on guys I'm attracted to. It usually ruins it for me, even thought it's a pretty shallow thing to admit. :/

  • MangoWOW@xanga

    @sumeoj@xanga - You pretty much got it right. Sorry for responding to this forever but I was clearing out my bookmarks. lol.
    The only thing Id have to argue on is the quantity thing. I really do look for the quality in people. I prefer to have a few close friends rather than a lot of average ones. It's more of a deal of me being impatient. lol. I hate taking the time to get people to open up. I acknowledge that maybe I've missed over a few good people because of this.
    But I have to agree; when someone has a negative quality it's easier for them to pick up on people who share this quality. I'm selfish and stubborn. If I was someone else I' hate to be friends with me XD. Therefore I can see myself and my negative qualities in other people. It just so happens that from who I've met the majority of shy people share this quality. They are so resistant to letting loose that they become selfish and only care about their wants.
    I do understand that that isn't the deal for everyone. My best friends are the shy type, they just ended up being the awesome ones. lol
    Btw thank you for actually taking the time to read my comments. I think people see me make a negative judgement about anyone and they blow a fuse.
