<p>you know, when i was a little girl. my family would make me go out for car rides or i’d be in the car w/ friends who were going to drop me off. and more than a few times my parents would have a panic attack to make sure i was alive cause they couldn’t hear me breathe. or my friends’ parents would drive right by my house. it always amused me b/c they always worried. i didn’t do it on purpose. i just always was on “on the outside looking in” if you will.<br>
most people think its a good thing to always speak up and be active and recognizable. but the people I know,who are active in the community, are the people who don’t notice someone’s new haircut, or that a friend is feeling down. i think being quiet is a gift. but it can be abused b/c sometimes people hide behind their silence, hence the reason why shy is associated with quiet. hiding is not good. i’m still quiet, but most people know i’m a fun person to talk to. you’re not a loser, you just need to change your perspective.</p>
<p>woah i didn’t know this thread was active again o.o lol</p>
<p>well i have learned that talking could get me in trouble…but eh thats a dumb excuse…</p>
<p>i talk but its hard to hear and mulberry, they might adapt on the outside, but they will surely talk behind my back like “omg you know that dumb (half) deaf kid hes soo weird wut a loser”</p>
<p>even my brother just called a loner…wow i suck o wellz thanks for the advice guys</p>
<p>and oh yea, i was just watching a movie where these people played a prank on this one kid by moving her bed outside while she was in her pajamas and still sleeping. do you think people could do that to me in college since i wouldn’t be able to hear and thus i would make an easy target? eh im worried sick about what might happen after high school</p>
<p>Well, I’m also labeled as the quiet/shy girl, but around my friends I’m all crazy and outgoing.</p>
<p>And no, its not a bad thing…it’s only annoying. People tend to infer you are quiet becase you don’t have friends, so they will be all sympathetic and try to talk to you, when the truth is you just want to be alone and concentrate on whatever the teacher is saying.</p>
<p>If you don’t talk to them back (or if you answer with “yes” “no” and “uhm” like me) they will label you as a freak and leave you alone…in the end.</p>
<p>And I dont now about your school, but here the quiet guys/girls are usually the ones that receive the more attention. If you are shy+pretty, the guys/girls will find you more intriguing and mysterious than the average outgoing guy/girl.</p>
<p>Theres good quiet and bad quiet. The people who are just shy during class but talk to their friends and classmates and whatnot are cool people. The people who sit alone duing lunch and are actually uncomfortable/awkward with talkuing need to do somethign about it.</p>
<p>^^ I each lunch by myself (started after I moved) and it’s actually a lot more comfortable for me. I don’t see a point in putting yourself in uncomfortable situations when you think that the person will be saying negative things about you and you’ll be looking at the clock for the bell that will save you from the awkwardness.</p>
