I have social anxiety and missed out on a lot in life. So, when I’m in a social setting where I finally feel “myself” and comfortable, I can get a bit too excited and carried away (this happens in situations with both guys and girls). However, my concern is that guys might think I’m easy when I get too comfortable. I can get pretty bubbly (I’ve been told this by other people), laugh super loud, and talk fast. Sometimes, if it’s a situation where I’m kinda into the guy, I might brush my hand against him somehow or like squeeze his biceps while I’m laughing and talking with him. There have been 2 situations where I got negative feedback from people - never from the guy himself but others who were in the same setting and witnessed my behavior. One girl pulled me aside and told me I needed to chill because I came off veryyyyy flirty toward a guy, and in another situation, I found out I was being talked about by a group of women saying I was not behaving with good manners and needed to stop being so childish and bubbly toward a guy that was sitting there with us. Men, what types of behaviors make a woman seem easy? If you saw a girl behaving the way I described myself above, would it make you think badly of her or lose respect for her? submitted by /u/vanillayogurtt
