>Why are you so quiet? Why do you talk so little?

It reminds me this girl at psychistric hospital. We were both sitting at a table for an hour, she suddenly yelled at me:
>I don't know! SPEAK!!!
I internally though:
>Tell you what, I'd speak if I knew how to…

> Why are you so loud? Why do you talk so MUCH? Why the constant babble of small talk?

I'm not constantly quiet. I just save speaking for when it's actually important, rather than constantly running my mouth.

Maybe because the world needs more people willing to listen than it does people who will just yell at something until only their voice is heard.

That said, when a subject I can talk about comes up, I could discuss it all day. Unfortunately, most conversations don't stick to one or around a subject for long and tend to move onto something else that I have no input on.

Why must all of my focus and interest be on something almost everybody cares so little/doesn't know much about?

I suffer from the same. Over the years I've gone from hyper-talkative to not talking at all, surrounded by people who have nothing interesting to say to me. I feel so extremely alone because of it.

In my experience, being alone and left out isn't bad. Quite preferable, in my opinion. What is bad is the guilt that comes with thinking that you come off as rude and uncaring to them for not showing interest.

Better off to avoid them and not look like an uncaring asshole than to listen and not genuinely care. I could pretend I care, but I really hate lying to people.

Having bipolar disorder is really weird

For a month or two I can be extroverted and charismatic

For another month or two I can be introverted and can go without speaking for days

I'm suspecting that my quietness has little to do with my social anxiety, and is just a personality trait. When I'm comfortable around people I stop worrying about being too quiet and become even quieter.

I think this frustrates the hell out of people who try to "get me out of my shell".

Anonymous 04/28/15 (Tue) 22:25:16 No.9329

This always happened when I was in highschool and college. I'm NEET so I haven't had to deal with these kinds of people for a while.

It's worse when your own family does it. The people who are well aware of your speech issues.

I just imagine those Ren & Stimpy moments, I hate them but I laugh at them too

Anonymous 04/30/15 (Thu) 16:05:55 No.9351

I'm just shy. I'm always worried about saying something stupid and looking like a hobosexual, even on anonymous imageboards where nothing I say will ever come back to haunt me.
