social people receive different rewards out of life than shy people do. whether it's more depends on their perspective.
shy people are often introverted. they may be thoughtful, intuitive, and just as observant as a social person. they just don't feel the urge to share, or can't find a way to feel comfortable expressing those observations. maybe they will instead write them down and the memoirs will be reflected on by a reader some day in the future, who will reflect, "my, they got a lot out of life!"
social people relish the sharing. they may have much to share, or they may have little. it's not so much the substance but the interaction that drives many social people. they may or may not have great ideas - certainly many DO - but they might have a high school yearbook filled with hundreds of short 'hellos' from acquaintances and strangers alike. you might look at that yearbook and say to yourself, "my, they got a lot out of life!"

No, I think everyone gets different things out of life. I have been shy for most of my life, all through high school and I got so much out of life. Not only did I gain on my own, but I also learned from others. Since I wasn't face planted in drama I had more time to spend getting to know myself and making genuine friends. Some people will never understand what it feels like to be afraid to go up to the counter at McDonald's and order a burger, it made my stomach hurt because I was so nervous, but for me it was part of growing up. A challenge I had to overcome. I believe that others do lose out on life because they watch things pass them by and never go for it. The shy ones, we get what we want, we just prefer to do our thing in the back ground. The lime light isn't for everyone.
Great question!

the place did she lie guy? you're telling us she did no longer tell the fact yet i won't see the place she hasn't finished so. while you're on the comparable college then meet up yet in public and someplace the place she would be able to flee etc. it relatively is way less demanding which you will conceal in the back of a working laptop or computing gadget or text fabric than be actually with somebody. That my chum is why it relatively is all so no longer undemanding. She would very nicely discover you very thrilling as a individual and that would desire to be your saving grace, yet while she does not prefer to fulfill so which you will apologise then flow on and connect some golf equipment etc

No, I don't think social people get more out of their lives, just different things to those who prefer a less sociable lifestyle. I personally dislike the word shy, for me it brings up images that the person is less able socially, which is clearly untrue.
Some people are just happiest in their own company, or in the company of very few close friends. They tend to observe more, talk less, sometimes they are the 'doers' in life rather than the 'debaters'.
My husband and 2 friends would be considered 'shy' by your definition. They get different things from life from me, not less. I don't know if it is typical but all three are very deep thinkers, all three are very considered in their actions and comments. All three prefer to discuss ideas on a one to one basis, so you don't tend to discuss issues on a superfiscial basis.
Life is easier, I think, for more sociable people although my quieter friends would disagree. A friend of mine (in real life) has been struggling away with a very complex Community Care Case for many weeks. Several of us have just got together and sorted it within hours. We all have different skills, experience, strengths and weaknesses. In this diversity we have strength if we work together.
To me people are amazing, surprising although often very complex. I enjoy being alone but only for a while because I am much more alive when I am being sociable. Most happiest when fighting for something. Is my life fuller than less sociable people? No. Just different.

Social people probably have more friends,
but shy people have more true friends...
As far as who gets more out of life...I really cannot say, socialites tend to always want to be noticed and be at the center of attention, so they are always thinking about themselves, while the shy person, tends to talk less and be more inquisitive about others and their feelings. I'd say, if I had to give an answer, shy people get more out of life.

I think it depends on which aspect of social life you look at. A shy person has a harder time gaining new friends at first; but friendship requires a bit of work in maintaining close ties and either a shy person or outgoing person may have equal chances in doing well or badly. A shy person's circle of friends may be small, but it is probably close, and an outgoing person may have friends with a variety of levels of attachment.

Social people are like open for business in the game of life. You will never fully enjoy life if you do not open up and have people to share your life with beyond a few...

I don't like classifying people based on wheather they are shy or social. We are all different. But I think we are also constantly changing too.
I think that's how we can get the most out of our lives... by defying the labels that people so easily administer to us and becoming the person we want to be.

I believe that when you "put yourself out there" you are going to run in to a lot more opportunities to expand yourself and your life. When a person is shy they probably think "what if..." a lot. I feel like I have a very full life because I am pretty outgoing...
