Does not talking make me a bad person?

Question

I'll admit I go to a school loaded with jerks. But no one ever talks to me and they always talk behind my back. In the halls I always look down whenever I pass by someone or stare blankly at something far away and I hear them mumble to their friends "What the f*** is he staring at? Freak!". 

I rarely talk anymore because of this, I don't speak up in class or talk to anyone nearby me. My Social studies teacher told me the only time he ever hears me talk is when I say hi to him in the morning (I say hi to all my teachers. It's just awkward to walk by them without saying anything nice).

I do have friends but I'm starting to move away from them. My best friend, who saved my life once, I see myself starting to move away from the most. She invites me to her parties still, but her friends don't really like me because I don't talk at all. So I'm just awkwardly in a corner while everyone else parties with my best friend. It's like that on the bus too. I purposely seperate myself from the other eigth graders (some of whom I went to elementary school with) and sit by myself everyday listening to music. I don't really mind this though. It's just reflective.

I don't like to talk because the people around me are complete idiots who always seem to get themselves into trouble, or jerks who don't value the feelings of others and can't mind their own business. Some thoughts are just rather left inside instead of said.

I was wondering if anyone else feels the same way i do (seperating yourself from others to reflect on yourself and your thoughts constantly) Or if I'm just a bad person or the most hated being alive socially.

Of course your not a bad person!!! And I know how you feel,  you get bad social experience and then almost look for reasons to move away from friends and social situations. But don't let your friends go! I did in Middle School and eventually I realized that it didn't make me feel any better to get along without friends.  But then I joined clubs that really interested me *things I didn't even expect to like* and got great friends. Sure I'm still not wonderful socially and my social life by far isn't perfect but it is worth it to suffer the bad for the good times and whether it was myself, the clubs,or getting friends again I became more confident. I'm sure you can find non- jerky friends to hang out with. (P.S. Middle School is always a hard year for everyone. Not in 9th grade, but 10th you'll probably find people maturing and being nicer. :D

Lets see you are bad at socializing and when people see that they will think they are better than u. I know others will commend you for being so quiet and humble but you also seem to be afraid. And i regret to tell u that if you continue this way you are going to be stepped on in the real world as well. Lets face it the world does not like quiet shy people they usually get pushed to the side, unless they had an extraordinary talent. I say it is high time you matured a bit and start realizing that people talk bad about everyone and you have to not care so much.

I consider randy just grew up and realised he used to be somewhat of a tit for a even as and now hes opened his eyes to his possess abilities and then began working more difficult. I suppose they must make him a face quickly however they must make him a "tremendous" heel because it had been and make it seem that he isnt a tremendous wuss and might defend himself inside and out of the ring, in view that at the second it seems that he can do whatever with out legacy at the back of him!
