i love quiet people.
most talkative people dont know what they are saying.

''Listen. Do not have an opinion while you listen because frankly, your opinion doesn't hold much water outside of Your Universe. Just listen. Listen until their brain has been twisted like a dripping towel and what they have to say is all over the floor.''

I've been known in my old school as the ''hermit'', because I spent whole days without speaking to my classmates... Because we had nothing to say to each other, and because I'm a really quiet person... So yeah, I'm used to unconfortable silences and those ''omg, he's crazy and mute!!!!111!11!!!'' ='X

I hate small talk. I hate forcing small talk. So I typically won't speak unless spoken to. I don't think I've ever met anyone who wasn't put off by it. All through high school and even now in college. In fact I remember a friend (my only friend) telling me about how he knew some people (whom I'd never spoken to before) who disliked me because I didn't talk.

I don't think it will ever change. I also think that girls hate it more than guys do (at least in my experience). People see you as boring so they quickly move on to someone more 'interesting'. I've felt the sting of obvious rejection many times before.

Yes, I find this is often true.

Yeah, I was told by a good friend of mine once that I was boring. But that was when she had moved on to more 'interesting' people and abandoned our friendship. Well, she was more of the "in" people, popular among the others then. But today, she still keeps in touch with me and I don't know what's so valuable of our friendship that she still wants to. *shrugs*

Indeed I had a really good friend way back when I was 10-11 years old. His other friends didn't want me around because I was just a quiet guy. They didn't want someone there just listening (not that I would go out and blab everything they had said). Well, my friend defended me because I was basically hanging out with him and not his other friends. That was my last best friend I had. Miliary brats means moving away, and eventally we moved on with our lives. We haven't spoken to each other in a long time...

It sucks doesn't it? But I'm used to it, I guess some of us are after knowing how 'boring' we are and just accept it. Being quiet doesn't mean you're boring, they just don't get it.

Wave shock, at least you got defended! I was backstabbed/badmouthed by that same friend and another one, and both are still talking to me till today.

It's weird isn't it? Your best friend was there to defend you but you guys haven't spoken since. I was left by these 2 used-to-be good friends but they came back talking to me now and then, still just friends. Oh well.

g. i thought this thread was about LoL having trouble being quiet. i wiiiiiiish i was quiet sometimes. yall r lucky. its way worse when u just cant shut up Lmao

That's interesting. I thought most of the people on these boards are lonely because they have trouble talking to people. I tend to equate good communications skills with a lack of loneliness. I'd love to have trouble being quiet, NewBirth, you should teach me how to not shut up

I'm trying Rogue LoL
