Social Expressiveness
In social settings you will tend to be quieter and more reserved than the average person. In fact, many may view you as shy because you would rather let others do the talking. Oftentimes, people who have the most to say do the least amount of talking only because they feel inhibited when there is a big audience. This does not mean that you would be introverted in a relationship because intimacy usually breaks down the inhibitions we feel in social settings. Keep in mind that the fear to speak up in social settings can be overcome with practice. It's important that you learn to speak up when you have something important to say, even if your feel uncomfortable doing so. You should also be aware that your tendency to be highly reactive to negative stimuli does not mesh well with your introverted nature. In fact, when you react too quickly to dangerous situations when you are normally reserved and quiet, others view this as being weak or even cowardly. Note: it doesn't mean that you are either, but it's the impression that you give because of the big contrast that exists between these two facets in your personality. This predisposition you have to react to such situations is not easy to have power over because it's controlled by the autonomic nervous system (also called the flight-or-fight-response). However, the knowledge that you do have this ability to respond quickly to bad situations might help you to moderate your responses.
