I love shy and quiet people, because I'm that way myself. People don't 'dislike' us, I think it's just indifference on their part because they aren't sure whether we'd like to talk to them or not.

I think people feel a bit uneasy about shy and quiet people, because they don't know them well and don't know what they're like or what they are thinking. They're not sure if they're stuck up and think they're better than the others or if they're insecure and just afraid to start a conversation or if they really just want to be left alone or what. I think few people directly dislike shy/quiet people, but are just a little uncomfortable with the unknown and unsure about whether to try to interact with them or not.
I'm an extreme introvert myself (not shy, just quiet and kind of a loner). Few people seem to really dislike me for that, but few people dare try to crack through that shell either. They seem unsure about what to expect and prefer to stay on the safe side.

its hard work to get some people to open up, its not a case of dislike but a matter of them not knowing the shy person, most people when put in a situation where they dont have the comfort and support of friends, they will be shy to, unless there personality is to be open, anyone can get over been shy, it takes practice

Confident bubbly people make people feel as though they are liked. Shy and quiet people are harder to read, so you end up wondering if they like you - if you are insecure you might find yourself disliking the person for "rejecting" you - because they were not providing you with enough feedback to reassure you that your interactions were acceptable.

Talkative people tend to make friends easily because they are not shy to approach others. Shy people seldom approach others, and if others do approach them, they may either find an interesting, vibrant person inside that shell OR they may find it difficult to break the shell. Sometimes people just lose interest because they want to be associated with people that seem to be popular, but that has to do with their own insecurities. Someone will come who will appreciate you & like the person that you are.

People have a hard time understanding why someone would not want to talk to them. They end up thinking that the shy person doesn't like them or is "stuck up" so to speak. It takes two to hold a conversation. I usually find myself speaking to eveyone that I cross paths with and if they don't respond then at least I made the effort.

I don't think people dislike us shy people. I think we just make them uncomfortable. Our quietness makes them think we're standoffish. According to Kiersey, 75% of the population are extroverts, so that puts us introverts in the minority and those outgoing folks just don't understand us.

because a lot of people have the mind set that if some one isnt a social butterfly, they are either an outcast who hates everyone, or they think that the shy person thinks they are better than everyone else.

Because people are just to lazy to take the time and get to know them.

That is crazy!! Shy folks don't engage with others, they are not "disliked" they simply do not interact. Good Lord!!
