I Am a Quiet Person

I get so tired of people asking “why are you so quiet?”. It’s as if being quiet is a bad thing. It really gets on my nerves.

I get insecure a lot and sometimes worry that I don’t make any sense when I speak. So I stay quiet.

I give slow responses, because I observe and take in what is said. I choose my words very wisely, being careful not to say anything offensive or hurtful. And because of this, I miss out on a lot of fun conversations.

Everyone, especially my family, push me to talk and put me in the most uncomfortable situations. They force me to go to social gatherings in hopes I will talk. That just spikes my anxiety even more.

And while I’m writing this post, I’m worrying. Do I make sense, or am I just blabbering nonsensical stuff?

Funny thing is, sometimes when I create posts on here or other social media platforms, I ask someone. “Does this make sense?” Just to get an approval.

A great deal of the time, I am in my own head.
I too have to redirect to engage in a conversation.

As a general rule no one gets bent out of shape with ,
Hello, and how are you?
