Why is my quietness is mistaken by arrogance?

Question

or shyness or being stuck up?

i heard many people say that im stuck up and they dont even know me to say that im like that,im just the quiet type who just go along with my business or just stay quiet because i dont have much to say and dont like to small talk

Answer 1

People that aren't friendly or speak can be mislabled by people . If you are easy on the eyes, and do not speak then they will really think you are stuck up.

If you are happy inside that is what matters.  

Answer 2

There's nothing wrong with being introverted. It's usually the extroverts who have a problem with others who are not like them. Forget about what others think and just be yourself.  

Answer 3

i totally know what you mean, i'm super quiet all the time, except when i'm with my family, i just don't see the need to make pointless conversation.  It happens a lot to me at work, a lot of people think i'm stuck up because i don't talk much, but that's just me, i don't like talking a lot.

Even when i tell them that i just don't talk much, they end up thinking that its just some made up excuse to cover up that i'm just being a b*tch.  But i don't really care, i like my quiet and if they don't like it they can shove it.

Answer 4

yeah, im shy and very unconfident, not so much any more, but used to be a lot. and people just think im being a rude cow, when im not, just because i dont walk around with a huge smile on my face (which may i add-people would soon start calling me a weirdo) doesnt mean im not happy, or dont like you, or am giving you dirty looks.

Some people just cant understand how others are not confident, because they are, even though you might think they d**n ugly, or a very horrible person or are dressed strangely! they have confidence and just cant understand how someone can stand there being quite. its better then being all in peoples faces though- my personal opinion!

just orget about those people, you know your not, and people you are close to know your not, so dont worry about what others think, although i know its hard sometimes.

but they will end up making your life miserable.

Answer 5

You can't blame people if they miss judged you.

If you don't want people thinking that your an ignorant person, you should look at yourself first if you will feel anything about your self, if you feel like your an ignorant person but your not? Then show the people that your not by talking to them and maybe they will understand you.
