I'm too quiet

---

hey everyone,

so here goes my story. i have not many friends, i'm quiet and shy and im depressed about it. the problem is, i have a bestfriend who i always follow around and be friends with her friends but now she start saying that i'm too quiet and bring awkwardness when i hang around her friends. i offended by her statement and decided to stop hang out with her friends and just stay alone in my room. but day after day i get more depressed i even stop talking to her. i just don't know what to do. i've tried to be more talkative before but i just can't. i just have no idea to give response when talking to people. but it's not like i didn't speak at all. i just speak when i have something to say or when i know what to say. is it wrong to be quiet? is it my fault that i born this way? i was always have problem to make friends. i hate myself. any advice? i don't know what should i do to avoid this depression.

wow thats creepy im having a similar problem right now.

There's nothing wrong with being quiet. I'm very quiet unless I'm with people I feel comfortable with. The problem is that some people find it a bit off-putting. It would help if you can find a friend who is more comfortable with your character. They do exist!

to be honest, i have the same problem sometimes, although it gets better, i used to be VERY shy as a kid, now i wouldnt describe myself as shy. its difficult stuff, i know what you are saying but being locked up in your room feeling sorry for yourself is not going to help. i know its difficult but you just need to get out and meet new people however painful it is, you will make friends who you are comfortable with, you just cant give up on it.

I agree with everyone here. Be comfortable with who you are. If quiet is the way you are than be quiet, no need to change for anyone else. This world is getting tough because there seems to be a standard way everyone is supposed to be in order to be "cool". I think you just need to make some new friends. Ive gone through many friends in my day because they just were'nt like me. They go party, i dont, thus i felt i was dragging them down. You WILL have many friends throughout ur life, thats just the way it goes. Dont stress over anything and just enjoy everyday and be greatful that you are the way you are

thank you guys for sharing and advices. i really need that. i realise i should face the world no matter what but it really helps knowing i'm not alone. i know i have to be more confident, sometimes i pretend that i am and in my head i keep yelling to myself to keep my head up.

No problem. Hey no one is perfect, i often get down on myself, but then i come to realize what i told you. Keep ur head up high, we're here for u if u need something
