It is upto those people who assumes so; there is no justified reason for such assumptions.

It goes back to the whole social class SNOB issue in my opinion.
Snobby people don't socialize with those they consider beneath them. So in some way I believe when quiet people aren't being talkative people assume it's because they think they're better than them. Which in turn leads to hard feelings.
People used to not like me because I was quiet and shy. I've been told by people they thought I was stuck up because of that.
Once they got to know me I opened up and would clown around with them and that was the first thing they'd confide in me.

They are the ones who are likely uptight, since they can't take a little silence, huh?

Because it has been trained in our culture that outgoing people are easy going and quiet people are either weird or uptight.
How many shows have you seen that depict a quiet hero that doesn't make their move 'til the end? Not that many.

Because its common perception that quiet people keep everything bottled inside. So obviously their lids are screwed on tight.

Let them assume what they wish. We know that listening and observing can be very beneficial.

It is a reflection of how they feel about themselves. The quiet people make them feel uncomfortable.

Because some uptight people are quiet...
I'm sick of it.

Maybe because it seems that they are not loose about showing or telling about their feelings or other thoughts, so they are more reserved.
