I was wondering is it possible to be a quiet person and speak your mind at the same time?

Question

Is it possible to have a personality where you are quiet and speak your mind? For example, if you don't really talk to people and ur kind of a loner, but is it possible to speak ur mind if someone asks you something or you just blurt it out, or if your standing up for yourself? ...just wondering

Answer 1

My younger brother is one of the quietest people I know. He never talks just to hear himself speak and small talk is something rather foreign. He does speak if he has something important to say and everyone that knows him is aware of it. It's amazing to watch (and as an older sister kind of annoying) that at 33 and even when he was only 21/22, a group of civic or church leaders all get absolutely quiet and hang on his every word. So my advice is: be quiet as long as you want and when you speak, speak from your heart.

Answer 2

My husband is the prime example of the "Strong silent type", who doesn't say a whole lot, but when he does, people pay attention.
He IS the kind of person who prefers to put his words into action, so when he does say something, he usually means or does what he says.
People of all kinds and ages give him all kinds of respect. When I met him, he was only 20, and he had supervisors, old-timers, and even his dad and grandma giving him immense respect.
I say follow the example of my husband - first, mean what you say, and then put your words in to action. Talk is cheap, but all talk and no action is pointless. If you establish yourself as someone who backs his handshake with a true promise, and acts accordingly, you will have more impact than anybody who makes false promises and never pays up.

Answer 3

I am a quiet person who's also assertive. I was born with a physical disability because of that I was teased alot so I wasn't the most overt person. I also had a learning disability that also caused me to have some problems with my peers. I eventually learned how to stick up for my self by being assertive and making sure that my point was gotten across. My daughter's also have learning disabilities that has made it necessary for me to learn how to assert my self as a parent advocate to make sure that they get the education that they need and deserve. Because of these experiences I have not become a loud person but and assertive one. You can make sure that your needs are met with out being loud and boisterous and making people become defensive.

Answer 4

You are having a good start just by asking the Question.
Now you can come on answers, and start "answering" some
questions that you know that will really help someone else in
a "positive" way. And I don't mean doing their "homework" for
then. I mean, like I am right now, helping you.
Stay out of Polls, Politics, religion, and sex. And don't answer
questions that want personal information about you, like your
age, where you live, and such. There are hackers out there.
Building a profile on you. <}:-})

Answer 5

ofcourse....i am a loner...i disclose my darkest deepest thoughts to only two kinds of people...someone very close to my heart...or someone who will never have a chance to interact with me personally.

Answer 6

Sure. That is the beauty of keeping your mouth under control. You can say anything when you need to....usually when it's appropriate.

Answer 7

i'm like that... i dont chase after friends or popularity, but i speak my mind [in a polite way, usually] and i'm open to others, if they want to talk and hang out, sure. it's like that quote "it's improper to be silent when it's proper to talk, and it's improper to talk when it's proper to be silent".
