Exactly. And I just read someplace else that extreme shyness and "resevation" are actually rooted in extreme self-centeredness. Hmmm...it's all beginning to make sense. Seattle, Land of the Narcissist (sp?)!

I'm not the original poster, but I would also consider myself a very shy person perhaps even somewhat reserved. But, I like going to parties and meeting new people, etc. I go to various bars and can strike up a conversation fairly easily. I certainly do not ignore people. I say good morning/evening in the elevator, etc. I may get phone numbers for new friends, but following up is not easy for me. Personality flaw? Perhaps. I know I am a shy person, but I don't let this hold me completely back. Does this make me one of them? Maybe our definitions of shyness and inward are different.
But, I think the Seattleites are not necessarily reserved. I find them to be uppity and ill-mannered. I don't know where this stems from. Perhaps it is the feelings of being superior.
