Is there a reason for this? How is that even possible? How do some outgoing people get categorized as being quiet and/or shy? What do they do to get categorized this way?
Confused....could you give an example? Define what you mean by "outgoing". Outgoing doesn't exactly fit with "shy". Quiet tends to imply someone who stands by and watches others until they know them better.
One reason I can think of is that the person may see themselves as more outgoing than they are actually presenting to the world. Therefore when someone tells them the they are quiet, they are genuinely surprised!
They may also be making an effort to seem outgoing (work would be one place that quiet people might try to do this) But your true personality usually comes through in some way.
I didn't know they did... I'm outgoing and never told I was shy and quiet.
A lot of people, of course, think outgoing people are actually outgoing, but there's some outgoing people that get categorized as quiet and/or shy for some weird reason. That's why it confused me. Even if you are not 100% outgoing, a person can be 75% outgoing, which does not mean they are 100% quiet and/or shy because they don't do a few things that 100% outgoing people do.

Possibly. I guess some people out of these few people are quiet but they see themselves as more outgoing as what is being presented.
Of course most outgoing people are outgoing, but the few in between that get categorized as quiet. I guess there are a few reasons why some people may think some outgoing people are quiet. Maybe some that we don't even realize.
I have never heard of that personally. I myself am very outgoing BUT I am a loner by nature, is that what you mean? Put me in a wedding reception where I don't know anyone and I have no problems starting or getting into conversations, laughing and joking and dancing...but in my head I'll be dreaming of when I can go home and get my comfy clothes and solitude.
