Why Are You So Quiet?

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't uploaded in a while. I thought this was a really important thing to talk about, and I'm sure a bunch of you have been asked this same question a bunch, so hopefully this helps you at all, and never feel bad about being quiet. Being quiet is cool! :)

For a lot of time I used to stay quiet everywhere because I was afraid of saying something or being judged. That has disappeared over the the years. I remember watching your videos in the past, you're such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your story! We need more men talking about stuff like this on KZbin.

Being quiet, and observing silence, are forms of meditation. It is a positive, affirmative practice. Most people are so stuck in being "loud" and "in there thoughts" that quietness and silence must seem like a foreign concept, they just cannot grasp and fathom...perhaps even scared by being quite and silent.

i'm a quiet person at heart. i like spending time alone too and need time to recharge after a long conversation. i also don't initiate conversation too much because i am quiet.

I get asked this all the time by acquaintances and classmates. Luckily for me, a lot of my friends are introverts or just accept that I don't talk just for the sake of talking. I talk more when I feel I have something of value to say. There are times when I want to say to those people who bother me about being quiet, why are you so loud and obnoxious? I like to think that as quiet people, we think before we speak. I believe that's true about emotional intelligence. I think it's because quiet people observe their environments more. We just try to take everything in and understand more.

That is such a rude thing to ask someone. I hate when people ask that. Especially when other people are around and it brings the attention onto you. It's very cringey 😬

Or when they come up to you asking "do you have any friends here?" I would get pissed whenever they would ask me this back when I was younger in school

[@lamiaranasan3960]

My teachers keep asking me why I don’t talk much. It sucks. I am really bored of this question I really seem like a shy girl it’s so obvious that I am a shy girl and if they don’t understand this what can I do about it I don’t have to explain myself.

Hey do you have any personal tips for work with social anxiety? Just curious, I’ve had a job for about 2 months now.

[@alexsmith7131]

I think this is more a general social anxiety advice thing but just take things slow it’s so easy to get overwhelmed by anxiety I always try to remind myself that people aren’t really judging me for the most part and just take things one social interaction at a time it can be challenging but you can do it! 🙂

The ironic thing is that the tonality of your voice is super alpha. Like you would command attention. It doesn't match your assessment of yourself. Weird random question, but are you an Aries? Picking up spring energy from you.

[@alexsmith7131]

I think I’m a Taurus actually

[@alexweiss388]

@@alexsmith7131 Oh right on. I was correct at assuming that spring energy at least. haha
