Other people can sometimes see things that you can't. Maybe you are shy. Maybe you're not. Maybe you're just an extremely introverted person until you're around people that you know and feel comfortable with. Don't worry about what other people think. Ultimately, their opinions and judgements don't matter.
I relatively like hanging out with people, talking in front of them..but then someone comes along and asks, "Why don't you ever talk? Omg I love how you're so quiet! Why are you so shy? Etc" Like oh I talk... Just not to loud idiots like you!
They may say that because that's the impression they've pick up .. Perhaps because they don't know you well enough.
Being 'shy' or even "quiet" is not a bad thing, and it's certainly not a detrimental comment even if it's just an observation formed in a very short time period. You don't have to defend yourself .. Just BE yourself.
For the record .. I too have been mistaken for being shy on occassion. I am a self confessed introvert .. and being quiet is a common trait in some social circles. Doesn't bother me to be judged as "shy" .. although I don't think THAT is what I am .. if I have something to say, I say it .. if I don't, I don't ., that's just who I am.
Opinions are like buttholes everybodies got one.
People could deem me as shy, but I just don't find it necessary to talk just because nobody else is. Also, some people talk about things that are just not interesting to me, so I have nothing to say. Other times I can find things immensely interesting and just want to listen. You find out more about yourself and others just by observing. I'm more of a thinker than a talker, and I've surprised people with some of the things I have said, because people often mistake quietness for timidity.
i just hate it when ppl do this . I do not find myself shy at all. But ppl call me shy anyway. Its so annoying .especially with ppl who dont even know me really. I think its because i come off as a really soft person my voice can be really soft at times. BUT I AM NOT SHY. I dont know y that is. I have told my friend that im not but she always says yes u r . Like i dont get it. When the person says their not theyre not. U cant jusgo around judging the book by its cover. But anyways how can i proove to her im not . Because when ppl call me shy it brings down my confidence level. And not just proove to her but EVERYONE
