Hello everyone!
I am introvert and i am also a little on the shy side. My entire life I have been plagued by the same question, "Why are you so quiet?" or "Whats wrong with you?"
I mean people I hardly know will come up to me and ask these questions, and i'm really starting to get sick of it. Infact I have had people point to me and say with anger "this girl here never says anything!"
Once, a guy that had just met asked me if I was an introvert. I told him yes and then he said:
"Yeah, I really don't like people like you because I either think that you are thinking mean things about me, or that you are just not worth my time!"
What makes someone think that they have the right to say that to someone they don't even know... just because they are quiet?
Don't get me wrong, I told him what I thought about that...
....but I was just wondering if anyone else has this happen to them? Any suggestions on what to say when faced wtih these ignorant questions?
