I’m really shy myself, although it may not appear as such on here. XD I guess opposites attract is a true thing, since my ideal mates are outgoing people who know the answer to everything and could take care of me lol. You and I might be a good match. :D
But yeah, I like those life of the party people rather than shy people. Another shy person and I would prolly just sit there, pretend to stare at something interesting and never speak to one another. I like people who can rile me up, or get me going somehow, and make it count. Guidance, security, interest.
I’m not saying a shy person can’t provide this, far from it. Also not saying that confident and hyper people are the only ones that can provide it. But from where I stand, I answer the question with how I feel, and maybe a tad experience on the side. XD
