Well, I think we are all a pretty respectful group of people here, so your self-congratulatory "I'm more polite than the rest of you" attitude is not necessary. It's not 100% true that QuietSeven is the only name you're known as here on the org. A lot of people also know you on here as Singmia. Not trying to start anything here, I'm just keeping it real.

Well, Freud says that all humans are selfish. Even when we do something for someone else or give a gift to someone, utltimately we are doing it to please ourselves. When we think of Prince being shy, we automatically consider our own situation.

Humans are ego-centric by nature.

I read an article on mavis staples recently she mentioned that when she first met Prince he was extremely shy.

They/we have nothing else to go on but compare our own experiences...The answer is a hypothesis....and educated guess....they are using they're education/experience....
Freud was talking about "self-motivated" that's different than "selfish". Some people feel better when they give all their stuff away...it is "self" motivated because it makes them feel good but it is in no way considered "selfish".....

Never bought that "shy" bit from him. Really into himself, maybe. But not shy.

I totally love that answer....when I read this it makes me feel as if he's more sensitive/shy....you hear that in his music and in the way he handles himself....that is sooo cool Tame.... so very sweet.....hugs

Day and Bernie maybe you are talking about "projection". The tendency to project your feelings and attributes to another. That again is a lot of what this place is all about.... we only have our experiences to draw from and we all like to feel we aren't alone in that way....

I am shy too. I blush when I listen to Prince, I can only imagine what would happen if I met him...

psychodelicide said:

Oh Yeah, I remember SingMia from the NPGMC.

ThreadBare said:

Yep...that ain't shyness.

Yes, but only to a certain extent.

I think most of us do.

I dont think he's ever been shy..
I think he realized from an early age that people can be very cruel and hurtful..
and I think he built a wall around himself that only let SAFE/Harmless people In...


Now that the whole world has called him a genius and he's a living legend..
He is able to accept himself more and basically the Positives of being Prince today far outweigh the negatives !

no, he's thtoopid.

I'm not sure I would call it shy. Prince sometimes comes across as being insecure and has a hard time putting his thoughts into words. Therfore he is often misunderstood and misquoted.
Even though he is extremely intelligent, public speaking is not his thing!
He seems a lot more comfortable expressing himself through his music.

i think he is a bit shy and he showed so cute remember the grammy award speech

For a man who wrote "Manic Monday"....his moods could swing from one end to the other and everywhere in between. Sorta his style.....unpredictable.....

I reckon he could have Social Phobia, often gets confused with shyness. Could a shy person really perform infront of millions of people?, i dunno.

there's only 1 person who knows and it isnt him.

A lot of the best songwriters don't have the gift of the gab, interesting that.

Toofunkyinhere said:

thats right we dont my friend which is why you'll never get to know us over the internet.

2IZ1 said:

I dunno, perhaps typing is an easier skill than talking, atleast you get time to think about what your gonna say.

Toofunkyinhere said:

thats the problem. us writers are too sensitive to know which feeling to express next. there's just so many of them we're likely to choose the wrong one out of dithery self-preservation and before you know it.. she's gone.

2IZ1 said:

Your doing alright now.

Toofunkyinhere said:

I thought it was only me.

no time like the present for miracles.

2IZ1 said:

Hahaha, "miracle" is a bit heavy, just open.

I'm only shy when I'm naked.
There's something about having my balls exposed that makes me blush.
I know I shouldn't, but I can't help it.

I'm hoping that I can over this.

So fer right now,
I only orgnote pictures of them to a small select group of females orgers.
I know that I should feel comfortable to show em to everybody,
but gimme time. For right now, these are just small baby steps.

Your patience is graciously appreciated.
