Do you Find Shy People Attractive?

[The Squid King]

I do, when I see a shy girl, I just want to go over and engage her.

I want to know why they are so quiet. Shyness is so attractive.

Am I on to something here, or am I a freak who likes to torture the shy?

I'm not mean about it, I do my best to engage them in a way that they are comfortable with. I'm not forceful, if they don't want to talk to me, I just move on, I'm not shy. Though I have found that a lot of shy people have a lot to say, they're just shy.(and that's what makes them so cute)

vote freak and pass.

I just like to alienate the shy.


Sometimes shock therapy is the only cure.

It takes a little effort to get to know someone who is shy. But it is often worth it.

until they sometimes open up too much, and start freakin' you out with things they do or say.

I find shy people to be very sweet and quite attractive. I like it when others are restrained and hold something back a bit, versus just blasting themselves in a wide open manner.
Shyness suggests so much, and its all good.

You are not a freak at all. You are someone in tune with yourself and what you like. Thats all that matters.

Do you know how many times I hear that?

Freaky is as freaky does.

Keep an open mind.

Opposites attract. Outgoing people are often drawn to shy people and vice versa.

Some shy people are absolutely fascinating when you get to know them, and their barriers come down. Others just don't have much to say. I'm attracted to the fascinating ones.

I am very shy and I hope there are those in the world who find shyness attractive. Being shy has been a struggle for me in the past but I am working on it.

I'm shy.

I always appreciate it when people make the effort to get to know me.

It's easy to assume when you don't know specifics.

Believe me, my mind is VERY open or was until this shit happened.

I'm usually shy, and I prefer guys who are a little bit quiet and shy also. Once you break that ice, it's all good.

She is really shy.

They reset all of her post numbers...yep.

Shy does tend to get my attention. So does a guy who blushes.

I have always been attracted to the bold outgoing people. Shy folks have their attraction too but sometimes they just don't have the steel in their bones that i'm looking for

Hmmmm... could that be why we are here instead of at the local pub or civic activity?

Could be that we are forced to be with people all day long in our jobs- forced to be outgoing. Shy people tend to get energy back by being alone. This recharges my batteries to face the world again tomorrow.

It's that extrovert / introvert thing. Extroverts draw their energy primarily from being with other people, introverts primarily draw it from within. Though introvert is not the same thing as shy.

Only about 30% of the overall population is introverts, I wonder what the percentage is here?

Shy is okay, as long it isn't profoundly shy... then that just gets on my nerves.

I've never heard of a shy extrovert. Sounds like an oxymoron to me.

I'd bet much higher than 30% here at Lit.

Aren't we all shy to a certain degree, given the situation? Don't we all have extroverted/introverted tendencies, given the situation?

I mean really, were you married to someone for 10 years, I seriously doubt that you are shy with them. Yet you can go to a party the next night with your spouse and not know a soul there, and be perceived as shy. Correct? I think we all warm up/open up, given time, and the right situation...
