I hate meeting new people, and if I get bumped into or touched in any way in public, I flip out. I generally dislike people. It bothered me quite a bit in high school, but not so much anymore.
I have trouble talking to people I don't know well. Even some people I do know very well. Never used to be that way, but I think it worked against me in the past. I think I'll get better with time, but as it is now my social life is pretty pathetic.
A little bit. I like being around people and talking, but I find myself not talking too often because I get so very nervous, especially in large crowds or in an one on one conversation with a stranger, I actually sometimes avoid social situations unless it's with friends, but I also get lonely very fast. It's a lose-lose I suppose. With a person I know though, I won't shut up. I think it is because I'm always worried about what new people think of me. Trying to make a good impression+ fear of being judged. Doesn't really mix.
However, I'm great at conversating behind a keyboard, wonder why :P...
Um...I know how to behave in society. I know what's proper and what isn't. However, I am really shy, self-conscious, awkward, introverted, etc. I'm not good at interacting with society at large or in general. I really only am comfortable around my close friends and parents.
