Are you a quiet person?

I don't think I am a quiet person, though sometimes I wish I am. I think none of my friends think I am quiet as well. I might look like a quiet person, but most of my friends said I am talkative. Some told me I am like Molly in the Finding Nemo, though I don't really think so. Though I enjoy talking, I like to listen as well. 
Yes, it seems to be quite hard for me to be quiet, unless I am feeling down. But, I can still talk to others as if I am fine. But, my husband and children will surely know when I am not feeling good.
Today, I just feel like being quiet, and I am almost quiet for the whole day. I guess I am just too tired to talk, and I just need some quiet time. I want to learn to be quieter too.

There are times that we enjoy the quietness of ourselves and we also like if we are noisy talking to others. I am basically a quiet person; when I am in a gathering, you will just notice me seated in the corner, but I observe other people as well.

Yes, I guess sometimes it depends on our mood as well. I think I can easily talk to strangers (if they are nice people), hence sometimes I could start to talk quite a lot after I arrived a new working environment too. But, I don't think I am super talkative, as there are always other more talkative people than I am, so I'd choose to listen.

I remember your post saying you were talkative as you like chatting. In my case, i'm talkative when i'm chatting online coz it's my fingers that move fast and not my mouth. But in person i'm a very quiet person. My teachers in grade school used to tell my noisy classmates to follow my lead as a quiet student hahaha!
Even if you ask my friends, they would all tell you the same thing. I'm a quiet but dangerous person.

Yes, I remember writing a similar post. I was thinking about chatting at that time, and thinking about "being quiet" now.
It's funny that your friends think you are dangerous. 
I remember my teachers always told my parents I am good at everything else, but I talk a lot.

@toniganzon I think so. I think my husband belongs to the "quiet" group.

@kaka135 Most silent people have the most kept secret weapon. That's why they said be wary of people who are quiet.

I think we have an inside personality and an outside personality.
When we are at work, it is the outside personality that shows up.
Actually we may appear as talkative though our real personality, the inside one, is a quiet one.
That is why a better way is to look at the interest or hobby.

@kaka135 It does not depend on the industries we work in.
It depends on our personality.
When children are in schools, the person that their parents know, and the person our friends know, are entirely different.
That is why many parents do not understand why their "good" children can do such a bad thing.

If it's job-related and I'm with a client, yes, I'm the talkative type. Otherwise, no, because I would be silently working by that time and I prefer a silent background.

It depends on. If I meet a person who I like, then I will be very talkative. My dad is a very talkative person and I think I have some genes from him. On the contrary, I tend to be a listener and try to be quiet. Sometimes when I am angry or sad, I will keep silent, too.

I have learned over the years to be quieter. I was never quiet when I was young. People would tell me I was yelling and I felt like I was whispering. I think maybe because my hearing was so bad from ear infections. My late husband couldn't stand my talking. He was always playing video games and ignoring me and telling me to be quiet or picking on me for the things I said or the way I felt telling me I was dumb so I learned to stop talking a lot. Now I bottle things up a lot.

I'm quiet when around strangers. I'm not usually the one to strike a conversation with people I don't know or just met. But when among close friends, that's when I'm talkative.

I only like a small group of people. There are times I like to be alone.
