She may seem nice and/or awkward when you first meet her, but once you get to know her, she is really nice and funny. She has a certain spunk to her and is really sarcastic and sometimes energetic. Although she may seem like an extrovert at times, she really is an introvert. She enjoys talking to others and branching out, but also values her alone time and likes to keep to herself once in a while to recharge. She is very paranoid and worries what others think of her, but is quite confident in herself. She likes to interact with people once in a while, but is also very reserved and quiet when she likes to be. She is more of a watcher and not really a speaker, but she loves to participate in public speaking events. She doesn't attract very much attention, but does have quite a few friends. People will see her around and will smile or wave, and sometimes talk, but there are not very many she can trust. If one does earn her trust, they are very important to her and she is very close to them. She is nice and wouldn't do anything to hurt someone's feelings intentionally. But she is tough and will get back at you if you were to hurt her or her friends in a manor that is uncalled for and rude. She is very confident and loves to lead groups. She is a natural born leader, and she owns it!
"Wow, that girl really is a Shanthi. She has so much confidence, but she is very humble at the same time."
"Right. I can already tell she's going to be successful."

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
