IS it wrong to be a quiet person?

Question

and not feel like talking much.

Answer 1

i'm a super quiet person and see nothing wrong with it... although others like to comment on how quiet i am.

Answer 2

No, its not wrong to be a quiet person, it is part of who you are, your personality. Most probably, the ones who are always commenting on how quiet you are are the assertive outgoing people who just dont really understand that you are naturally a quiet person. Try not to worry what other people say about your quietness, if they dont like you for who you are, they aren't worth the effort...

Answer 3

you seem to attract more attention this way than if you did speak...

Answer 4

Hi, i'm in the same situation- people always tell me i'm quiet, and i used to get really annoyed... but now i think i've realised that i dont mind. I think it's better to preserve my energy and as long as i stay confident, people still respect me (some people think you have to be loud to be respected). Like my sister, she talks sooo much, and half of it is complete rubbish.

But i think if you're too quiet- people might find it harder to get along with you- i guess sometimes you have to make an effort.

If people keep making comments, just smile and say, "that's the way i am."  

Good luck

Answer 5

No, quiet people have very loud mind, so what they lack in words, they make up in thoughts.

Answer 6

No not at all. Many people have a preference for Introversion which means they listen and reflect alot on what others are saying around them. They don't feel the need to say things out loud and don't feel they have to be engaging with other people all the time.

This can sometimes appear odd to the opposite end of the scale - those who have a preference for Extraversion - these are the constantly chatty folks who have a thought in their heads and then feel the need to share it with everyone around them.

So there is nothing right or wrong about either preference - its just how others view it that can sometimes cause problems.

If you do have a tendency to be quieter than others - consider speaking up more in situations where you may be expected to - e.g. work meetings etc.

You don't have to change WHO you are but you CAN adapt your behaviours if you choose to and if its appropriate.

Answer 8

No. There are extroverts and introverts. Nothing wrong with either.

Answer 9

No, you like to keep to yourself. That's extremely fine, normal and a lot of people do it. I can't stand to keep quiet but that's just me. There are all kinds of people what you are is what you are. Don't be ashamed of who you are.

Answer 10

No its not wrong, its the way you are, its who you are, just ignore the comments or just say listen if you dont like who I am Buzz off!

Answer 11

I think it is rather a blessing to be quite, saying very little always will keep one from trouble believe me.

Answer 12

No, there's different people with different kinds of personalities. You don't have to be what you don't want to be.  

Answer 13

No, absolutely not.

Sometimes it is better to simply listen and observe, so that when you do have something to say, it will be more meaningful.

Some people just like to jabber on, usually about nothing.

Answer 14

no its not wrong. i wish i could be quiet and i am naturally. people think

not talking all the time is a sign of strangeness. talking too much can also be a problem. i am also guilty of this- hence the use of Alcohol took me out of shyness but into something much worse- i couldn't stop talking and showing off. inside is where it all goes on- i talked because i was afraid to take any action. but you sound cool- maybe its just your way.
