Do you think you're approachable? Do you think it's easy for people to talk to you and get to know you? Very. Very easy.

I honestly don't know. I think you are on here.

To answer my own question, yes, I think I am. I've never had a problem meeting new people, striking up a conversation or getting to know people. Perhaps some on here would disagree, but that's ok.

I am typically a loner. I have my days when I am very social and approachable. Then, there are times when I can go without approaching or being approached for a time. Those are the times I tend to not play well with others.

I'm very friendly and approachable. However, I would be less approachable if the one approaching me creeps me out lol.

Generally I am very approachable but I can be also VERY unapproachable. I respond differently based on peoples agendas, sincerity, and their goal. If I know they come from a sincere place I will be the most approachable person on the planet. If I have no idea what they want from me or am unsure, I will still be very approachable but if there is manipulation or negativity involved, good luck if you even get "Hi" out of me.

To add onto the first post.. What makes someone unapproachable either in person or on a site like this?

It is a vibe/intuition thing for me. And a persons eyes say alot. I am very approachable as a rule. I was at the supermarket the other day & this guy stood behind me and warning bells rang. Sure enough, he made a scene for no reason. The eyes were creepy.

You can hide a lot of things,but you cant hide your eyes.Your eyes are a mirror to you soul!!Its true though-with almost all the deranged psychopathic killers- you can see madness in there eyes-sorry,what were you talking about? ,I was just checking my eyes in the mirror

Honestly, I try to be as approachable as possible, but my whole life I have been told my natural relaxed expression makes people think I am ready to kill someone. I honestly don't know about all that because my closest friends all tell others I am really friendly in person. I just don't understand it. I have learned to live with it though, just don't understand how some say I am unapproachable, then some say I am as friendly as they come. :/

To add onto the first post.. What makes someone unapproachable either in person or on a site like this? In person I’m very respectful of other people’s privacy, so I rarely approach them unless I have a reason to. It’s a difficult to imagine a situation. Maybe someone who is willing to make eye contact with me? Online I never feel like it’s a matter of approaching someone. I post what’s on my mind and am thankful for the responses. I take what’s helpful and leave alone what’s not.

Apparently, I'm not, because it doesn't happen often. :( I can be on the shy side in some situations. But I am very open and friendly when given the chance.

Yep, too approachable at times, but I smile and talk a lot when I get nervous and people seem to think that I am happy to talk to them

I am quite approachable and friendly but hard to get to know. I tend to be a private person mostly and only share facts with someone when I feel they are trustworthy.
