Being percieved as nice

It goes either way, but I personally would prefer to have people perceive me as nice and be wrong, rather than wrongfully think I'm a snob.

People never really make comments about my shyness, at least not to me. Most of the people I know at school though, aren't very judgemental at all and they pretty much just assume you're nice unless they're proven otherwise.

in my case, I was for a very longtime perceived as wrong, that's how extroverted people with SA look I guess:S because I would joke around and be funny with people I knew and trusted but sometimes, and more with girls, I would almost turn my back to them, not because I didn't wanted to talk to them but fuck that's what SA is lmao. People won't understand this and it's normal. For comprehension they would have to live it themselves! But hell when you have those moments of peace, those moments when anxiety go away, it shows and then people around are like wtf you've changed man!! I used to care about this a lot, and could still do at times. Wathever, I think the biggest present an SA person could have is Not giving a fuck anymore:P

A lot of people class emas 'nice' because I'm shy, although I have no problem with that, as I do tend to try and be as friendly as possible to people.

However I think a lot of people think I'm too up myself to talk to them or get involved with things as opposed to being shy. I 've noticed a shift between high school and 6th form. It is far less acceptable to be quiet in 6th form, particularly with the smaller classes. Teachers are always trying to get me to speak more.
