I Always Get Asked Why Im So Quiet
Not only do I frequently get asked this, I've had people actually admit to me their prejudices against and issues with quiet people ("I assume quiet people are jerks", "I'm uncomfortable around them", etc.). Although I feel that being quiet is sometimes a flaw, I've never been any other way. I don't believe that a quiet person can ever truly change into a "loud" person, nor should they have to. Quiet people are just one of the many types of people who come with their own set of downsides and positives. No need to write us off. We are harder to get to know, but I think it will be well worth it. :)
