I Am a Quiet Person

What really irks me is that people automatically want to label me as “the quiet one” and “the one who never talks”. But they don’t bother to get to know me and as a result the quietness is all they see. Even in middle school I won “quietest girl” and what I really wanted was “best dressed” because I was really into fashion, but again the other interesting things about me weren’t noticed. People constantly ask “why are you so quiet?” which is rude. That’s like asking me why my eyes are brown.

You're right, it a rude question. When I was young, your age, way, way back, I used to be quiet and shy too. Somewhere along the way I decided I just didn't give a sh-t what people thought of what I said. I've never been quiet again! I missed a lot of great conversations keeping to myself. But that's me.

I too worry unnecessarily about what others think. But have to remember, what others think is none of my business! @robbie2499
