Is there a problem being a quiet person?

I do experience the same thing, but as they came closer to me I can already adopt to the changes in my environment. If they don't speak english there is no way you can understand them and vice versa, so you really don't have other choice but to stay quiet or else they will just think that you are crazy speaking all by yourself

Merry Christmas foreverblue.Welcome to the club.I'm also a quiet person too.When I had a job,I always work and work. They say i'm quiet so I talk but it's get me bored when I talk too much. I don't like gossip too. I don't mind other people's business with gossip.They often scolded me for being so quiet. i don't have anything to say you know because all i cared about at that time was to work.

No body has told me this, but it is understandable why you are. Don't fret dear. It's fine to be quiet, especially where you work. And you are more comfortable with your family and understand one another, so of coarse you will be less quiet with them. Have a great day dear.

I am a very quite person too. I have problems in relationships because of it. Women always want you to talk and I don't want to talk if I don't have something to say. For one thing I'm always thinking about things I want to do. I'm an artist so I'm always creating in my head. People that don't know me sometimes have a problem with me being so quiet, but those that know me don't.

Sometimes it can be a problem being quiet. You won't meet the same people you might if you were more outgoing. You might miss out on events or people you want to be a part of. I myself am fairly quiet but you have to realize there is a time and place when you can let yourself go a little more.

i am also a very quiet person, i dont talk to new people i know i am only myself when im around my close friends.

In excess it can seem like you don't want to associate with the people around you. I used to work with this girl whom was so quiet that it seemed like she thought she was all better than us!

There is nothing wrong at all with being quiet and I don't blame you for not wanting to Gossip either I am quiet when I first meet People as I like to see first what they are like If I like them I will come out of myself but will not Gossip and if I don't like them or I am weary of them I stay quiet

im a quite person too. sometimes for those people who didnt really know me they misintepret me as unfriendly but most of them when they finally know me they find me nice and friendly. I grow up shy. i dont know it was develop during my childhood. I do a lot of thinking than talking. If i do feel at home with the person, you will find me talking. You know shy until i get to know the person.

I believe there is. There's really nothing wrong with you or your being quiet. People just give a fuzz so it's a problem. I guess, filipinos are naturally fun loving so they are expecting everyone to be always talking and laughing with each other. So, they try to make you talk by telling you what they think. Don't take it negatively. I know it's kinda irritating if people keep saying the same things. But, have you given it a thought that maybe you need to work on changing a bit? It could be the best for you if you start becoming a lil less quiet. I mean, I am a quiet person myself. And I understand you. But I also understand that maybe the people around us want to interact with us just that we seem aloof. We may already be giving them a wrong impression of us...maybe being standoffish or arrogant. You know what I mean. Loosen up a bit. If someone want to start a conversation with you, try to make them feel that you are interested by really talking and not just nodding or answering a small line. It might help. Besides, if something is being insisted on us, there could be a reason. We must not take it negatively if people say things. They might be concerned. For all we know they might just want us to become better.

Hey Blue! Quiet Rivers Run Deep. As long as you speak up when you have to, there's nothing wrong with that. If more people would keep their mouths shut for one second so they could LISTEN, this world would be a much better place.

Yes, I am also a very quiet person like you. Here in your case I see that language is the main barrier. And you have fears about your language being misunderstood by others as Spanish is foreign to you as English is to your co-workers. And the most important thing is that you don't want to hurt others. This is a very trait not frequently seen nowadays. Very Good of You. My experience is that when I happen to be in a new work environment or to a new situation, I tend to be very reserved for a few days. Then slowly when i get to know the capabilities, characters and behavioral patterns of others I will slowly open up. This you also can do. Observe people around you. Identify some good souls. Approach them and open up your heart. Be friends with them. Then they will help you to get out of this situation. And If you are a very reserved type you cannot make much friends. See, nowadays friendship is the key to success. Your behavioral pattern may put immense road blocks before you. Try to overcome them with your will. Good Luck Foreverblue!!!!

before, people old me that i was so quiet... but now, i became so talkative that if there is a new person in the group i am surely the one who talks to them... being quiet is not a bad thing... but now i like the way i can blend and hangout with more people...

i am an outspoken person but i tend to be quiet when i am around people whose interests and outlook in life are different from mine, people who don't share my passion and people whom i don't know quite well, and especially when i have no reason to be loud. so there is really nothing wrong with being quiet as long as you have reasons for doing so.

I certainly welcome the presense of a quiet person! There are so many loud people who actually think that constant chatter is a normal thing and they wholeheartedly disagree with the part of the thinking process that involves being quiet... That means that they don't shut up long enough to think and THAT makes me nervous! lol! :) Keep on being your quiet self, don't worry... When the time comes that you really have something to say, they had better listen! :) May Blessings Abound for you and yours.

I am a pretty quiet person myself. I was always quiet even when I was a child and there is nothing wrong with it. It may cause problems in a relationship since communication is very important in any type of relationship. People used to say that I am quiet but now I am not so quiet and can't shut up sometimes. LOL I do more talking when I am with family or friends but anywhere else I am quiet.

absolutely not! quiet persons are not bored as far as i know... i am a quiet person and i am not bored in the presence of people and even when i am alone...but i need some time alone...i may feel bad if i am in a group for a long time...but there is no problems being quiet or introvert its just a nature and there is always the other side too...which is less..

I've always been very quiet and enjoy being on my own, that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy company as well, however what I find really annoying is that some people tell me (jokingly!!)to be "quiet as they can't get a word in", there is nothing wrong with being quiet if thats what you want. It annoys my family if we visit people and I don't say much to them.

I admit that I'm a quiet person. I'll just talk to others if I have to say something that is important and relevant. I also don't like to be involved in spreading gossips that can hurt people.

I don't think so that being a quiet person should be a problem in itself!
