There are pros and cons to both extroversion and introversion. I consider myself quite extroverted, but it certainly has its' drawbacks, just as I know introversion does as well.


Well, in my case, you can see how much fun I'm having with no girlfriend, no best friends, no RL friends...

Yep, lotta fun!


You always come across as quite personable here on the forums. I know that doesn't always translate to real-life, but if I were you, I'd actually be quite optimistic. You're a likable dude, you'll get there. :)

I'm a generally quiet person, but extroverted in the sense that I like being with people and just listening mostly, having good conversations even if they're doing most of the talking - especially if I'm learning something.

I just like people because I'm paid to like people and at some point I got stuck in the act and can't climb out again, send firemen.

That's the nail hitting the plank right there!

I'm exceptionally charismatic on the Internet (and trust me, it scored me quite a few points), but I'm an awkward (but unusually polite) soul in the real world.

Then take that internet charisma and apply it to the real world.

Worked for me, and I've been called creepy only 3 times!

I've been told that walking up to random people in the grocery store works wonders, especially if you follow them home to make sure you're committed to the burgeoning relationship.

Well it is definitely less a case of dancing because they want to, more intimidation tactics.

Bikini Bottom has pretty fair diversity though. A sponge, a starfish, a snail, a squid, a crab, a plankton, heck even a squirrel. They don't discriminate down there.
