Question of the Week
Well folks, we did it again. We made it through another week!
I am headed down to Santa Monica today for the Beauty Social being hosted by Beautylish. Hopefully I will learn some great stuff and meet some cool people! And that leads me to my question…
Are you a social butterfly or more of a wallflower?
Wallflower! Well it kind of depends. If I know someone at an event or party I am much more easy going. If I don’t know anyone at all, I am way more reserved and I tend to observe people rather than participate in socializing. I actually am kind of dreading this event because I don’t know a single person and am not the type to just walk up to people and thrust myself upon them. But I have a feeling there will be a lot of people there feeling the same way, so at least I’m not alone in that! If you will be there and are shy please come say hello, because we’re in the same boat and we can be awkward together.

I’m very much a wallflower. I don’t socialize easy, and I actually prefer observing people, rather than participating in a conversation. Unless I talk to friends of course. But when I’m around strangers then I’m extremely reserved.

Wallflower. With a capital “W”. Ever since birth. My professors even have to call me out in class to get me to speak up.

Wallflower! I’m excatly the same way. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one who feels like that.
Hehe, I like the picture of that pumpkin girl!
Fab dress.
I’m pretty unusual in that I oscillate from being a social butterfly and being a wallflower depending on my mood. And it doesn’t even matter whether or not I know people at the party, event, etc. It hinges most strongly on my mood. There are some days when I just love being extremely social and other days when I just want to keep to myself.

Another wallflower checking in! I hope you have a great time at the Beauty Social!
I’m so excited to meet you at The Beauty Social!! I wonder how crowded/busy it’s going to be because I really hope I can find you and say hi!
I definitely use to be a wallflower, but I’ve gained more confidence in the past few years and I’m not as shy to go up to a random stranger or talk to someone I don’t know…but it still does depend on the situation.

Hi Amanda,
Me too! I have no idea at all what to expect at this thing. Not sure if it will be smaller and intimate or huge in a ballroom with hundreds of people. Eeeek!
I’m a classic introvert. I don’t hate people but I find parties and socializing, especially in large groups, fun but very draining of my energy, so I need a good amount of alone time afterwards to recharge.
I’ve learned how to work larger parties and make the manageable for me – and yes, I often have a very good time. But I know I need to take breaks and I make them happen, or by the end of the evening I’m completely worn down.
I’m pretty awkward and introverted. Being around large groups of people, especally ones I don’t know is really draining. I usually have a good time and I try to be friendly but I have a hard time with talking to people unless someone talks to me first.
I’m exactly the same, Kelly. I *hate* not knowing anyone at an event, because then I just sort of sit in the corner and eat too much because I have nothing to do with my hands and no one to talk to. I also dislike only knowing one person at times if they know a lot of other people, because if they want to socialize I tend to feel awkward tagging along…especially when introductions are made and the new acquaintance and I run out of things to say >_<
Still, if I know people (or even one person) it's so much easier to have fun and be the social butterfly
Also, love the picture this week!
I would definitely consider myself a wallflower and I can still remember a time when someone described me as outgoing and I was thinking: huhhhh? I have always wished that I were the one that walks up to a group and jumps into the conversation or was able to meet people easily. My close friends have all the characteristics I wish I had in that respect and that helps alot! They give me a sense of confidence and get me through those parties and social gatherings. I can’t wait to read how the Social goes for you, hope you have a great time

I can’t say I’m a wallflower now that I’m older. I don’t want opportunities to pass by. And it is true; others will feel ill at ease, but only at first. You are sure to have a great time. Enjoy!!!

I’m definitely a wallflower. I’m quiet around new people and I never seem to know what to do with myself at parties. I tend to hang out with the people I know and leave it at that. I’m much better at meeting new people one-on-one or in small groups.
Amanda´s last post…LOVE THIS!
I’m a wallflower. I don’t really trust people that I don’t know and I’m really shy. And when I do talk to somebody I get nervous, but don’t really show that. But then I do start talking so much I really say too much xD

Wow, I’m surprised at all the wallflowers! Not what I was expecting. I am, of course, a wallflower as well. I agree with Malene.

Wallflower when I’m in unfamiliar settings which is usually most of the time.

I am a major loaner so guess wallflower – but put me in any social situation and I am very comfy – talk a ton – it’s just hard getting me out to go – in large part it’s my disability – hard to get just through a regular day and have anything extra left to go and do.
I’m a wallflower/introvert too! I’m surprised everyone else that has commented is too, since I always feel like I’m the only one. Part of the reason I like to blog is so that I can hide behind the internet, but lately I’ve become a little too antisocial.

I don’t consider myself shy or socially awkward-not anymore-but I’m strongly introverted and from what I’ve gathered from your Tweets and comments here on your blog I’m guessing you are, too.
Interacting with people wears me out and I need lots of down time afterwards.
