Ive searched google i cant find it

[Marik]

Well in Sonic Adventure's official strategy guide (Where the only real official info on the characters' profiles are) , it describes him as shy right in the beginning.

[Xen Zeratul]

Yeah, hes shy, but it seems that with his friends he isnt, but with new people, yes, he is shy.

That'll happen when you're bullied. Poor little guy. That's why I tend to be shy.

Yeah, me to. I only know about 10 peoples names in my whole school I have no friends in math class, and spanish, or 6hour but that is just a work hour, calm down from the day, but then I get my work done. Then in my 3 classes English, Science, and Civics"aaahh" when im with my friend we barely get anywork done, but the teachers never seperate us like they do with the other people and if we do get seperated its just a bigger space inbetween us Its sad really though because they know were only friends with eachother so they wont seperate us He is also very shy, except he is more talkative so he has sort of another friend, I guess I do too but I barely see that friend anymore, first they switched him out of the class to another class to make it smaller, then he goes and sits at another lunch table

He's shy, but very determined. He's also very self-effacing.
As I've said many times, Tails gets his attitude from Sonic, and is very moralistic, so if you push him too far, he'll suddenly stop being so shy...
There's a reason for Tails' shyness, however, as well as, for example, how he 'explodes' at the animals in episode 18 of Sonic X... Tails is most definitely the most complex personality of the Sonic universe. Sorry Shadow fans. Shadow's pretty cool, but Tails is actually FAR more complex than he seems.

he's shy . but i am too! it's because i was bullied in kindergarden . i only had 1 friend but we were not in the same class.

[ninjatailz]

Heh... Shyness. Another aspect of the human nature I'd rather leave alone.

[Krazed Kitsune]

I definitely think he's shy around strangers (most people are!), but he seems to be pretty playful and outgoing when around friends, probably because he wants to help them and prove he's worth something.

Yeah, Prowerpower's right. Taciturnity and shyness are probably the most prominent lingering after-effects of bullying... sad really, when you consider how prolific bullying is in the world!

I am sort of the same way when I was getting bully I just wouldn't talk to anyone and I messed up taking pills for Hyperactive kids when I wasn't one !

I am still shy in huge crowds but small ones I don't really care about.

[2tails]

heh I can't talk to anyone I don't know I'm shy in any crowd, and yeah, ive had the typical bullying as well. And it has had its effects on me

[PuppetTails]

I wasn't bullied or anything, but i didnt have a friend till the 3rd grade . But me and my friend became inseparable, we always ended up in one class together. Then in the 5th grade we were seperated by one class, (he was right next door to me lol ;D) now we are seperated by schools . Tails doesnt seem so shy anymore though, in Sonic X anyway.

[thestrugglewithin]

In a certain respect, yes, Tails is naturally a shy individual. Over time, however, he opens up and can express more of himself while at the same time remaining very sensitive and good-natured.

I'm sort of a shy person in the beginning I suppose, but if anything I've only known one person in my entire life who was always shy and quiet no matter how long he knew someone. It's just the kid's nature.

Yeah, he's shy enough to join up with Sonic for no reason to fight Robotnik to the death.

Ah... the infamous "How did Tails meet Sonic" question comes up. >_>;;

I'm willing to wager Sonic saved his life, and Tails was willing to make up for it by sidekickness, or something like that.

<_<;; Probably wrong.

[Marik]

I'm gonna go with the Sonic X one, even though it's totally wrong.

[Tails007]

Wow, I thought I was like Tails before, but after reading this board I've discovered that almost the only difference between me and Tails is that he is a twin-tailed fox and our names are different. (not much is known about Tails' past before he met Sonic [by me anyway]) I didn't have any friends until the fourth grade and was constantly picked on until the seventh grade. I'm also very shy; I never talk to people unless they they talk to me first. Before the eighth grade, I used to care what people said or thought about me, but as soon as I stopped caring, people started respecting me and despite my unwillingness to be the first to talk to people I have many friends now and for some reason people just seem drawn to me (current grade: 12). But also like Tails, I don't really have a good opinion of myself, and I love tinkering with electronics. I also prefer to follow someone else rather than lead. I am also not very good at sports.
