Does being quiet make you creepy? Are you more quiet or talkative?

Question

I only speak when i have something say. I dont consider myself shy because I'll speak when I need to. I just usually dont have much to say, but yesterday I was in a group for a school project with four other girls and they talked non stop about random dumb shit and they were laughing a lot and i just stood there the whole time because i had nothing to say. Well i heard them in the halls saying that i was creepy and weird which is funny because i thought the same about them at the time

I'm like you. I don't consider myself especially shy, because I am assertive, but if I'm going to talk to someone, sure I'll do some small talk now and then but I mostly prefer having meaningful or intelligent conversations. I hate group projects for reasons like that. Either everybody talks and gossips about stupid things or nobody talks and I'm the one who's forced to start a conversation. I wouldn't consider it creepy to be shy or talkative though.

I'm talkative around friends but quite around strangers and co-workers

No. If anything, your thinking of other people talking "random dumb shit" is what's really creepy here.

I'm more talkative , but i have my quiet moments too. I'm not really into small talk. Being quiet doesn't make a person creepy or weird.

Creepy depends on stares and smiles. Or lack there of. Every 3 seconds look at something else.

lumos · Answer

Depends. I'm from Finland, and we're masters at being quiet. Americans seem to be extremely put off by even a second or two of silence, but we're not really bothered by it here and we often find it comforting. A sign of true friendship is when you have nothing to say to each other and you can just enjoy each other's company in silence, without feeling the need to force a conversation.
However, your situation is quite specific. If I was one of the girls in that situation, I definitely would have tried to include you more in the conversation. Group projects don't really work out unless everyone is on board and communicating with each other. I wouldn't automatically think you're creepy for not participating in a conversation. Sometimes the conversation just isn't interesting, or you just don't have anything to say. But if I made several good attempts to include a guy, and he still had nothing to say and would keep sitting in silence, I'd assume that he was a bit shy. Maybe a bit odd depending on his reaction. But not creepy.

hellacray · Answer

Haha tbh if I was in your situation I would probably behave the same way.

I've been in groups kinda similar where the people would talk non stop and nothing gets done.

Being quiet is not weird at all. I mean what are you suppose to say when you have nothing to say?

Well actually if they weren't doing anything you should probably ask for their input on the project. And make sure you guys get it done on time.

And if you know they're destined for an F just ask the teacher if you could switch groups or do the project on your own.

It's only disgusting it a male is silent because he's a shy insecure pussy. Not because he's just not interested in conversing.

Iron_Man · Answer

Being quiet has nothing to do with being creepy some people are just shy or they have depression issues or they're just a quiet type of a person in general. I am shy at first until I get to know you than I'm real talkative the life of the party that's how Swedish people are pretty much
they are reserved until they get to know you better than they open up once they feel Comfortable

GreenGold1992 · Answer

I've always been quiet, either because I'm shy or I don't have much to say.

I'm much more talkative when I'm around those I'm comfortable talking with.

It's not creepy to be quiet (unless you're throwing in a demented face and sinister smile, if that's what you're going for), but it's mostly an outside opinion because they don't know the real you.

GraveDoll · Answer

I am quite when it depends on where Im at.

At work, I keep the convoy related to work and have a tendency to not social or do lunch etc with my co-workers.
At school, I am more talkative in the canteen. Im around friends and likes.

rain_maker112 · Answer

Everyone is frightened of someone who is unknown. Usually, academic challenges and sport challenges push that person to show who he/she is, right? So the aduience, the people kinda know who one is, so if one is quiet, people will still find one is okay.

However, in a relaxing environment, if one is not expressive in some ways, it will only be natural for others to find one as an alien or a threat.

It's olay. Happen everywhere. It takes time

pasoccer · Answer

I assume the second question is the poll.
I'm a quiet person myself, and as I've gotten older, more and more people say I'm creepy. Once they talk to me more I'm suddenly not creepy. It kind of sucks, especially being single and having women think I'm creepy. :(

Nic1330 · Answer

I dont speak at all, unless we're friends than I honestly have a hard time shutting up. What I mean by that is that I'm fairly easy going but I never make the first move but once the other person starts a conversation with me its smooth sailing from there

DollySummers · Answer

No being quite makes someone shy. I am betwixt, and chose to conserve myself. I only speak at good moments or when I have an idea.

Browneye57 · Answer

Google introversion verses extroversion.  You are the former, they were the latter. Don't pay it no mind.  And pretty much EVERYTHING at their age is 'creepy'. It's all the rage these days.

I stay pretty quiet, usually. Especially when people are talking about dumb shit. From what I've heard, people find it intimidating. I have a great poker face and acute RAF, so I look serious while I'm laughing at their dumb asses on the inside

I have bad anxiety when it comes to talking to people sometimes, so I'm usually pretty quiet. I don't think you're creepy for being quiet, though.

Talkative if I like the person and I'm in the mood to talk. If I don't care much for you, you'll never consistently get a conversation from me.
