How nervous do you get around people?

How to answerThink about how you usually are in these moments and pick the closest answer. Keep it light. There's no right answer.

1. 1In a new group, it's your turn to introduce yourself to people you barely know:

   You've rehearsed it in your head several timesYou wing it and even throw in a jokeBefore your turn, your heartbeat drowns out everyone else's introsYou think for a second, then it comes out fine
2. 2At a restaurant, the waiter brings you the wrong dish:

   You hesitate, then mention itNever mind, this one looks tasty tooYou wave them over and ask for the right oneYou quietly ask your friend to say something
3. 3You post something in the group chat and nobody replies for ten minutes:

   You didn't notice. You've moved on to something elseYou keep rereading it, wondering if it came out wrongYou check back later. Everyone's probably busyYou want to delete it, or bury it under a sticker fast
4. 4Down the street, you spot someone you half know walking toward you:

   You duck into the nearest shopYou wait till they're closer and say hi naturallyYou wave from way down the streetYou look at your phone and pretend you didn't see them
5. 5In a meeting or class, you have a good idea:

   You mention it to someone privately afterwardsYou put your hand up and say itYou're still polishing the wording in your head when everyone leavesYou wait for a pause and share it
6. 6Visiting a friend's home for the first time, just before you knock:

   You bring a little gift and stroll right inYou linger outside for five minutes to psych yourself upYou plan a few things to talk about on the wayYou knock and walk in like you've been there forever
7. 7After a party, once you're home:

   You lie in bed replaying every line and can't fall asleepWash up and sleep. What a fun dayOne thing you said keeps nagging at you a littleYou smile about the funniest moments
8. 8You need to phone somewhere to book or ask about something:

   You just pick up the phone and callYou write down what to say and read it outYou think about what to say before you dialYou do it online if at all possible, or put it off till the last minute
9. 9Someone praises you in front of everyone:

   Your face goes red and you don't know what to do with your handsYou smile and say thanks, a little shy"Thank you!" You happily take itYou wave it off with "No no, not really" and change the subject
10. 10At a friend's wedding, you're seated at a table full of strangers:

    You start chatting with the person next to youYou focus on the food and pray the couple comes round soonTen minutes in, the whole table knows your nameYou wait for someone else to start, then join in
