Same here.
 
In my private life I tend to be a little shy around new people until I get to know them better. In my professional life I am quite the opposite. I need to be very assertive and aggressive.
 
I say it's wiser to say nothing when one has nothing of value to say lest he say something foolish and embarrass themselves by it. I feel the problem is people have grown so used to constantly talking that no one can see the wisdom in not speaking. I find it helps to be more observant when you aren't focused on talking and can spot things that can point things out about people that will help in knowing who you should hang around and who you shouldn't. It's not to say there is something wrong with talking but it has its place and should stay where it belongs and not be something you do everywhere when the situation simply doesn't call for one to speak.

I am definitely shy around new people and don't care much for talking if I can avoid it.
 
You either like me for me or you hate my guts. Whichever you choose it's not going to affect me so I don't mind if you like me or not. :) But no, I am not shy.
 
It usually depends on who I'm around. :3 I'm much more open online than I am in person, haha.
 
I'm shy when I don't know you. If I get to know you I'll open up and when I completely trust you, I say the most stupidest things ever.
 
I can either stand up tall, and talk. Or I can be very withdrawn. Lately, it's always been the latter.
 
I can be shy around new people/strangers. I'm always quiet though, no matter who's arround. I just don't like to be the center of attention.
 
Around strangers and especially women I find attractive, I sure am. Strangers, not as much as I used to be, but women I find attractive are on a whole different level.
