How in the hell can someone be SHY on the internet? I can understand being shy of the following:

-Displaying a webcam
-Displaying pictures
-Talking on a microphone

Besides that, how?

whats up with all these people who dont post much to begin with saying IM MORE SHY, there's no way you're that shy.

stormi you got 16 posts and you're occasionally on IRC for you to be more shy than this it would require screaming loudly if someone approaches.
I'm in IRC all the time actually.  I must just not be at the computer when you're in the channel.  Being busy IRL doesn't mean I'm shy in IRC.  But like... yeah, I get on Skype and such with everyone whenever I'm not busy, which is weird considering usually when there are strangers around I'm quiet. :P

Also, I'm not a big poster in general.  I usually read what's going on, and move on to a new thread unless I feel I have something to contribute.  I got over being shy here a couple weeks ago after I realized you guys don't shit yourself when a girl is around, so you all aren't going to weird out on me.

I'm really curious about this "Baker" joke account... but I can't find any posts by him and I don't see a Baker on the members list...

EDIT: can you describe how he acted? what his avatar was etc?

Until recently though, I've become a hermit in my room

Interestingly enough, my mother has started to call me a hermit for the same reason!

mmm opposite to whateveryone else is saying, i'm actually LESS shy in real life. i'm outgoing/talkative and pretty much have a good conversation with a stranger every day...

on here though i've only really been posting just lately. i lurked for a long long time cause i felt (and still feel) that there is a bit of a clique here. mainly those who have been posting a million times a day fo the last couple years or people who are always on irc. i still don't get a lot of the inside jokes or know everyone's real name or former gw name or have people on facebook or whatnot. that's not really a reason not to post though i suppose.

i guess i'm just suddenly really shy in unexpected situations... :\
sometimes, you need to quote yourself to feel important.

I'm actually constantly angry and getting in arguments with various people on an almost daily basis.  It's kind of bad I guess but not to the point where I can't make/keep friends.  Actually around new people or people who I don't have to constantly be in contact with I am a pretty pleasant person.  Sometimes I'm funny and on point, and other times I don't know what to say at all so I'm pretty quiet, but I guess generally I am a pleasant person.  Deep down, though, I am always angry.  Always!!!

In real life I talk a lot more than I post. Mostly because the things I say are pretty insignificant, not in a bad way.. just on the internet you do some editing and suddenly have nothing to post.

Let's see...

I'm shy, but when I actually now a person I open up a bit
I joke about everything when it's appropriate.
I have a huge sense of humor (I'm not all that funny, but I can take a joke and can find humor in almost every situation)

Or as my friend said after hitting on her:  "You're such a dork"

But yeah, that's pretty much me.  A fun-loving, dork

I'm pretty much the same guy, although I leave my gaming banter for online forums though it's not uncommon for me to have gaming discussions with friends or co-workers.  Otherwise, I may not be as open as I am online but it's not a huge difference or anything I'd say.  If I'm free and there are things to do, I'm usually game especially these days when having any real social life has been tough.
