being shy or quiet doesn't make you a lesser person... remember that...

I am very shy and quiet...
You're probably right funkmaster that it doesn't make you a lesser person, but it does make your life more difficult I think... well, at least I always feel a little jealous when I see how easily some people go through life, whilst I mostly just observe them from a distance.

I'm a loner anyway, so it's not so bad... and I find that the shy people I know are, on average, much smarter and more interesting than the outgoing people. Just an observation.

yeah I know what you mean... I was pretty shy, I guess I still am, but I'm much more outgoing now then I once was... you just need to be happy with who you are... and if you can be, then eventually you'll find other people who are happy with how you are...

That's excatly how I am. It's interesting how fans of a particular music have so much in common. That's weird how most of us are shy.

I expected that. Shy people tend to be thoughtful, and thoughtful people tend to be into this genre of music.

yeah, im very shy and quiet too... i think that the abundance of shy aphex fans can be explained by the fact that most shy people arent really part of a social group..and tend to go off in their own direction..unaffected by what the majority says is popular or whatever..as they usually arent as interested in fitting in with the crowd so to speak...plus since they have a lot of free time...they can devote themselves more to their interests...which in our case is music..a type of music which tends to take more time to get into...
these are generalizations of course...

Amen. I found Aphex myself, I'm literally his only fan in my city. I'm such a weirdo, I don't let anyone or anything dictate what I do or how I act.
Or what I listen to!

AMinal, I'm exactly the same. I'm not very open with people I'm not good friends with and am a bit shy, but people I am good friends with and know I am very open, and they know this.
Thats confusing.

i wouldn't call myself shy as such but introverted by design (so to speak), in a way i choose to be on my own, talking to myslef, and observing rather than interacting (precisely hevquip). I Like my own company, to be alone with myself, my own thoughts, no one elses: an introvert

People can't understand why'd you'd prefer to just sit and think, and its almost like people feel like they *have* to talk just for the sake of it. At least when I do they know I'm A) Interested B)Telling the truth

yes. that's my big problem. people think that you're lonely, when you're actually reflecting. it only gets more ackward when someone starts talking to you. of course, when they start talking, they talk about stupid crap or ask questions that aren't important. after that, they shut up because there was no reason to have a conversation in the first place. then the moment of silence seems really strange because the conversation ceased. then i think "haha. that's what you get for trying to talk to me. an ackward moment. i'm fine with silence, but you're not"

But thats what of the interesting things about IDM 'fans', they are spread out and like a big underground network.
Also, anyone fancy/could you set up an IRC channel so we could chat in more real time? That'd be pretty cool.

i look down at the ground alot. (probably to block out distractions and so i can focus)
i can't sit still for more than a minute. (too bored with everything else)
i don't talk. (i'm thinking) i stare at nothing. (lost in thought)

yeah... it's not that I don't like doing stuff with friends and shit, but I love nights when I just stay home and "enjoy the silence" so to speak... free time I love... I can listen to music, read, watch tv, watch a movie, whatever... I love it... I love time by myself... and maybe that just means I'm more confident with myself then people who need to be with other people 100% of the time to be happy...
