Sick of people telling me I'm quiet.?
I hate it when people tell me I'm quiet or they say you don't talk much, I was in class doing my course today when the my tutor said it I felt like she was saying well you should talk more. I don't wanna hap all the time like other people do, it's not against the law to just sit and not talk much is it. I can be shy and quiet, but I'm comfortable with it only when other people respect that to.
Any advice or anyone in the same boat.
Thanks
I am so glad I'm not the only one, just wanna thank for answering. Your answers make my feel a lot better.

they can make you do something you don't want to. don't let them make you talk of you don't want to.

I have the same problem, mostly because in my class there are other people who are not only louder than me but also smarter, so I rarely answer questions out of fear of getting them wrong and looking like an idiot. A lot of people will tell you to speak up and be more "confident", but honestly there is nothing wrong with being quiet--a listener rather than a talker. In this world we need a mixture of both kinds of people, so don't worry about it.

I can't give you any advice, but I can tell you that we live in a society that don't let you free.We are not free even in this kind of situation.I just to want to be quiet why do you disturbing me forcing me to become awkward and even making me answer you ok or fine or whatever to your miserable question that wants me without my permission or better demanding and that's something that it isn't right, not to be quiet? I want to be quiet, I am quite with animals like you, I am not quite with rare friends you don't have and you never will and that's why you will always be more quiet than me when I am with my friends with any person .I wouldn't help them in anything those kind of people that are everywhere.

I understand, there are many reasons why you are quiet and sometimes when someone mentions it to you it's almost like an insult. Not everyone is loud and outgoing but i'm guessing it's her way of saying "you ok or do you have a problem?" like a way of checking in with you. I get others if i'm too quiet for too long either standing in my eye line attracting my attention or asking me if i'm ok both can be really annoying but in a way slightly caring. She was just trying to be nice far better than just ignoring you.

People sometimes say things in a way to check you are ok and also if you are in class that you understand, a lot of people themselves don't feel comfortable with silence.
Sometimes i have times where I zone out and want to be in my own head space or don't like what other people are saying so keep quiet. Just tell them you are concentrating or focusing or that you are fine.
Some people are quiet because they lack confidence, so maybe your teacher is just trying to encorage you or prompt you to get involved - it is a way they can assess learning in lessons.

Shy people can appear to others to be innocent or good. In many situations in life, it is better to be the innocent or good person, rather than the outgoing and dominant person. Socially, people may respect you more than the aggressive and dominant individual, which leads to them having a stronger trust in you. In many cases, having an innocent or good appearance can be a great trait to have for an up-and-coming leader.

I'm pretty quiet too. People shouldn't be messing around about talking more, because what I would do is say ok and then scream in her ear IM TALKING!!! U LIKE?!? :)

I am exactly like you people always tell me im quite and shy and get told by teachers and my parents that i hardly talk. Ignore them you can be however you like and at least you have people who respect that and are better for you.

I am quiet too and I choose to surround myself with quiet people who are compatible with me. Being quiet is not better or worse than being noisy, it's just different.

well maybe your teacher is trying to develop you in way that you won't stay quiet later in your life, like in meetings and stuff when you're older. he/she just wants to get the most out of you, and honestly, there is nothing wrong with happing

"Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger" James 1:19 It makes you wiser when you listen more than you talk. You must be a very peaceful person. Don't listen to people when they say you should talk more. They are foolish.
