Well usually my friend is the one who is very loud and I'm always usually quiet. Still when I decide to be loud and happy and respond to my other friends question with energy she tells me to calm down. I don't think that's very fair because she is always so loud and laughing out loud and the one time I want to be happy and energetic she tells me to calm down and that I'm being to loud. I don't know if I am taking this the wrong way, but everyone should always get to say something how they want. I don't know, has this ever happened to anybody.

Me and my friends are all energetic whenever we are together so we all end up being noisy wherever we are but from time to time one of us would be conscious enough to notice if we are being too loud and would suggest to keep it down a little. I think when someone told you to be quiet would be offensive depending on the situation. If the situation says that you might be disturbing other people then you can take it the good way.

yes! i can't even count them! haha! my friends tell me to be quiet sometimes when I'm getting too noisy to the point that I am really annoying to them! haha! It's okay for me if they tell me those words, I respect their opinions but of course I'll be offended if they said it in a bad way. BUT if it is in nice way it's okay with me. In your case, I suggest don't get too sensitive with the words of your friend and open to her/him that you are hurt with those words. Be open and communicate to each other very well. Smile :)

yes!!!Sometimes I tend to be a little bit excited about the stuff my friend and I talked about, and they always make me calm down. But you're right, everyone's got to express themselves a bit and you can always laugh or speak high if you want !

Oh yeah. I am very loud most of the time hehe and people always tell me to be quiet. My friends are loud too so i tell then the same thing. It's like a routine for us, telling me and me telling them. At first it was like offensive, but now, we are just making a fun of it.

Not really, but then again, I am not the loudest in the group
I have told others to be quiet before though because they are just too loud to bear

Yes, many times. However, only I am too noisying to disturb other people, they tell me to be quiet. I accept their ideas when I find it's the fact. You feel whether your situation was the same to me then. If so, I consider you are too sensitive. If not, you may talk about this question with your friend in a friendly way. I think you can find a very good solution to solve the question. :)

Yea,I'm usually quiet and just loud sometimes when I talk with my close friends. We are talk about each other when someone is too noisy.I think it is OK between our dear friends.But I don't think it's fair for someone who is always noisy to say about others.

Yesss!! Quite annoying when someone does that too you. You're really happy and excited and its the first time you've felt good in months and they'd tell you to shut up because you're becoming embarrassing for them. Some "friend". Sometimes you just want to tell them: some things are about me too, you know.
