can a very outgoing person befriend with a very shy person?

Answer 1

Sure

Answer 2

Of course. Actually, many friendships are between someone outgoing and someone shy because outgoing people tend to be more dominative. The shy one thinks the outgoing one is interesting (and it appreciates the attention), so they follow them, which is subconscious submission. However, this isn't the case if the shy person is actually dominative (usually these are the "lone wolves" or the "bitches" or the "snobs"). If the person fits one of those, then the outgoing person will have to tone it down (submissive) in order to befriend them. And make sure if it's a dominative that it knows the outgoing one isn't making fun of it, or else it'll freeze the outgoing one instantly. If the shy person is submissive, or they're both submissive, then there shouldn't be any problems (other than conversation starting!).

Answer 3

Yes. When I started High School I was really shy, and a very outgoing person befriended me and I became less shy. I'd say she helped me a lot.

Answer 4

Befriend = Be a Friend. No one can have too many real friends.

Reaching out to befriend someone who isn't just like you is a very fine thing to do. Wouldn't you both feel better for having tried? You showed someone they were important, interesting, and mattered. That alone is an important gift. If friendship develops that's wonderful. If not, you are both a little richer for the human kindess of the gesture.

Answer 5

Hi, Yes indeed....I've been with my man for 7 1/2 years. He is an very outgoing person and I am the very shy one. He can be the high light of an party and I would be the one shying away in the back of the room..lol I wish you the best of luck.

Answer 6

The problem is "very" outgoing people tend to be manipulators, or don't take the time to listen to "very" shy people.

Shyness is often misunderstood as a self-esteem problem. Outgoing is often misunderstood as being confident.

But, people with poor self-esteem often over-compensate with agressive, or outgoing behavior. And some shy people are self concious only because everyone expects them to be outgoing.

Answer 7

at college maximum of my acquaintances are outgoing because of the fact i'm variety of shy and that they often befriend me. Im often not this style of individual to easily bypass up and consult with random human beings, yet whilst they attitude me i've got self belief variety of obligated to respond and then tada i've got made a sparkling buddy.

Answer 8

Absolutely!! I am a very outgoing person and my bestfriend of 6 years was very shy when we first started hanging out. Now she also is very outgoing, I think because of hanging out with me it brought her out of her shell.

Answer 9

Of course! In fact they will both benefit from each other, the shy person will learn to talk and the outgoing one will learn to listen.

Answer 10

Have you ever heard the saying "opposite's attract"? Think about it. If you were friends with a person with the same interests, you two would get along great for a while.........at least until it got boring. With your opposite, it would open up new opportunites etc. See what I'm saying? I think it would be good for you to mingle. Even as friends or something more.

Answer 11

Yes, of course that's very possible, but I don't know how well the friendship is going to go. But if the two people have a lot in common, then it could definitely work out.
