Are any of you perceived to be outgoing? My friendly personality gives people the impression that I am outgoing.

My friends make fun of me when I say Im shy because I know people, and talk to them and receive attention but I seldom traverse beyond the superficial and I am ready to recharge my battery by myself even when I feel lonely.
I shopped online for a front door mat this week. It took all the power in my body, but I managed to fight off temptation .....I didn't choose the one that read: go the fuck away. I picked a cute llama
@Shelton Amazon
Many times. When I chose to be out and about, I am social. I just chose to be out and about less than some people. Many people would not know that I am an introvert.
My coworkers were shocked when I said I am an introvert. Since I work at a Starbucks I have to be outgoing and talk to people so they thought that’s how I was. I can put on a face of being outgoing but that doesn’t mean I am.
I know the feeling. I give tours at a place for which I volunteer. It actually is usually an enjoyable experience.
I'm well known in my town so I get a lot of attention but most people are to afraid of me to ever speak to me. Peoples bigotry rarely works out in my favor but this is one of those times when it does.
Why are they afraid?
That's me. I've become adept at subtly handing off the conversation to others and not answering questions about myself.
@Phantom_mind1 here's what I found. People like to talk about themselves. It's to the point where when people ask me "how have you been?" I answer, "how's your kids?" Or what's going on with your job?". Nobody notices that I didn't even try to answer. It works every time. I just have to remember something personal about people and save it for next time.
A fine tactic indeed. I do the same.
@Phantom_mind1 as to the conversation feeling unsatisfying, it's true. But it helps to feed my neurosis I have that I don't really matter. Yes. That's sad I admit.
