Which is better, to have an outgoing personality where everybody knows you, which makes you more susceptible to rumors, or to be quiet and kind of standoffish so that no one notices you, and therefore won't talk about you? I know its a weird question, but I was curious. Thanks

me and my bf discussd this just last night
and i myself
prefer to b quiet.
if someone really cares in my opinion
they will take the steps to get to know you
outgoing people can be really off putting and
invasive by there over eager antics.
no offense to anyone. but i like the mystery of a quiet reserved person. makes
it more rewarding to get to know them.
so what if you dont have a million friends
id rather have a few that count then a million that dont
MissM4 answered Tuesday January 29 2008, 8:22 pm: This is a great question and I have often wished I was more outgoing. I wonder how many outgoing people wish they were quiet and reserved? My guess is not many, outgoing people are usually fun and I imagine less concerned about others opinions (that too can have downfalls). I think you need to know/find who you are. If you are more of the quiet type, it is hard to be outgoing. But it is easy to be authentic, caring and free. Free yourself of the worry about rumors and you will find who you are.

Vikki27 answered Tuesday January 29 2008, 3:30 pm: Personally. I would always go without outgoing and having everybody knowing you. The fact is, people will always spread rumours. People will always gossip and people always say bitchy things. BUT, if you have an outgoing and friendly personality, you are less likely to be talked about in a negative way and you're likely to have the right sort of frame of mind to deal with the rumours and gossip when they do happpen.
Although being more of a loner does mean less risk of getting hurt, it also means less chance of anything good happening to you. Ultimately, the risk of being open and friendly and positive brings a greater reward. [ Vikki27's advice column | Ask Vikki27 A Question ]
Ruminator answered Tuesday January 29 2008, 2:53 pm: I was very popular in middle school and high school. I was vote most friendliest in middle school. I like to ask questions so you'll find answers that really aply to you. Do you think there are going to be rumors out there you should worry about? Do you think there's any outgoing people out there that worries about rumors? Do you think all rumors are bad?
Here's my thinking! I never worry about rumors. I try to enjoy my life and be as respectful as I can. I think if you have good intentions with whatever you're doing you'll do fine! I hope this helps! Feel free to ask me more stuff! [ Ruminator's advice column | Ask Ruminator A Question ]
