I can talk to people, if people start talking to me first. I am bad at starting conversations. Really bad at starting conversations. It's one of the reasons why I harmonize good with people that talk a lot.
@NoVaPika61
Getting spoken over when you already barely talk has to be one of the feelings of all time.
@itsabdullahkhalid
The worst part about having mainly extroverted family members is that I HAVE TO TALK LIKE THIS just so they can hear me because my normal voice is too quiet for them.
@iLivedThenDiedLoL
Omg real i'm literally the same. Something i get a lot is "You're basically invisible." And i've learned to take that as a compliment.
@TheAMaazing
What an amazing first long form video to come out with - I grew up quiet myself, but then basically got bullied/also FORCED out of it (for better or for worse). Definitely agree that you've got time to grow comfortable into your skin, however it may be. GREAT STUFF!!!
@denizwithz9589
Oh, no. I'm like that one quiet girl. I've always assumed that my presence alone was irritating, that I hadn't considered the possibility of me hurting others because of my inability to socialise
@Kotz_en
The "being ignored part" is so painfully relatable. I'm not that good with starting conversations, but I try my hardest to get some healthy interaction going. I even try to figure out the person's interests so they are more likely to react to the conversation starter. But when all I get is some bland "yeah" with no follow-up, or some grunts, or a shrug, or complete silence, it feels like a punch in the guts. Like my efforts of socializing are not even getting acknowledged. And that hurts. I may not be the best at conversation, but I'm at least trying, and while I may take the initiative to start one, there is so much I can do to get it going. It takes two to tango.

Being quiet for me means security. You're safe if no one knows what to talk about you, they will create false rumors but it's up to them, no biggie. I avoid to talk personal stuff to keep my peace. And mainly, the way they talk and what they talk doesn't match with me so it's better to be left out than join their conversation. Observant and cauttion are two of my companies. :face-red-heart-shape:
@pardon_111
This is very me… shy ppl things😭I’m trying to be more social tho
@Narizu_NW
This is very relatable to me, being shy and possibly socially awkward. Around people I don't know, I feel lost or left out and I'm terrible at starting conversations with them. It's difficult, but I'm trying to get better at that, even if it's just a little.
@AlawyDR
Being OK with being quiet is a cheat skill It's really good
@AndrewBenningfield-ji3iw
I've always had the problem where, even among friends and family, I can't really think of something to talk about. I'm painfully aware of the awkward silence, but I just can't do much about it.
@maddie10rzr
I'm loud with my friends but also really quiet. Most of my friends are my friends because they talked to me first. It gets really difficult now that I'm older because I get flack for being quiet. One of my relationships is becoming strained because I remained the same, while they changed and became more social...So I definitely relate to the part where your friend became friends with someone you don't like.
@chaddwarf
i was the same, probaly because of my autisme and ADHD and sometimes feel like being someone whos quiet made me miss a lot of life lessons
@Lightrose196
I wish there were instructions to social interractions. You just have to talk to people. How?! Looking back I was always the third weel in the group. I almost feared to be alone with one of them cuz then ill have to continue the conversation. Why we have social needs anyway 😭
@vedant-hf8vi
Cute artstyle.
@Shuck34
10:31 There is a very big difference between “quiet” and “antisocial”
@Listt-n1p
As a quiet person and an ambivert, it's actually quite frustrating having to go up to someone to fulfill my sosial needs... I have to go to a different friend circle every 5 minutes or something just to feel right. Anyway,you did well figuring yourself out.Good Work🎉
@desterion5587
Interesting point. I'm also a pretty quiet person. People who don’t know me usually think I look bored, angry, or cold — but in reality, I’m actually kind and warm once you get to know me The funny part is: when I have to present something in front of a group (classmates, friends, etc), I feel super anxious — sweaty hands, pulse at 120, hard to breathe… all that. But the moment I actually stand in front of them and see their faces — weirdly enough, I feel a huge relief. Like, I’m still scared, but also calm as hell somehow Also, you mentioned not feeling comfortable presenting in front of strangers. For me, it’s literally the opposite. I remember one moment so clearly. Back in high school, I joined the drama club. My voice is really quiet, so that was already a challenge. But here’s the thing — performing in front of friends and family was 100x harder than acting in front of 150 complete strangers. At 17 I kinda realized… I don’t really care what random people think. But I do care about embarrassing myself or “acting weird” in front of people I know. Isn’t that strange?
