How to talk to shy or introverted people

miguelcarday
Hmm you should find something in common like most of the people here says and they'll talk forever also you shouldn't talk that much leave them room to respond because most shy people don't like to assert themselves over others by talking over them even if they want to.

It is hard and annoying to deal with shy girls. Especially if your talking to the shy person online and not in person. It is like talking to ones self with one word responds and no questions ask back there is a mass of lack of dialogue and information is one-sided. It is a big turn off and makes me not want to talk to the person ever again. A shy person can't stay one world responds for very long in person is what I have found since I have a cheery and optimistic attitude and tone in person and it does not translate to online.

I'm introvert. But when you get to know me I'm full of ideas and singin all the time; that jazz. Really, you wouldn't even think me shy/intro. I have the same problem; just in reverse. Since I'm intro/shyish, in either plutonic or romantic way, if you really want to approach someone like me I think just asking questions works best (like with everyone I think.) I just stopped one day being "outgoing" in social situations, but yeah, it works the same way with extroverts; just show interest with questions and it works from there unless they have like anxiety or something.

honestly, in simple terms, i'd play on "their court" till you get a mutual understanding; and after that, push little by little until you bring them where you are at (mentally/physically/romantically) people who WANT to be alone, know they want it/need it or whatever people who are shy BECAUSE of something they can't control/ect always want someone to find them/be with them, and have the patience to stick around that's what i think, at least

you got to slap them across the face and be like "wake the fuck up!!! Talk human!" xD no but just don't stop talking to them. They may seem small worded and mostly cause they don't know how to keep the conversation going. So just make up stuff to talk about it and slowly they will open up and you will notice they will start even themselves.

Talk about things that spark their interests, Things they like mostly. Works like a charm.

I would rather be asked about things I am very confident about. Otherwise I'll clam up because I fucking hate being wrong. Good luck getting anything out of me on shit I don't care about/haven't learned yet.

The thing is that there isn't a special way to talk to introverted people. Like others have said, being introverted just means that a person has more energy when they're alone then in social settings. Everyone is different. I'm an introvert but I also have huge anxiety problems, so talking to me will be a different experience compared to talking to an introverted person without social anxiety. And in all reality, most introverts are just as outgoing in social settings, being in social settings is just very draining for them and it takes a lot of energy to keep up conversations and stuff. I'd say just be kind and polite to everyone and you're fine. Don't worry too much about being one ay with one person and someone else with another.
