Why Are You So Quiet? – Best Answers

To introverts the question, “Why are you so quiet?” can be annoying because we hear it so often.

Honestly, I’ve lost count. When I was younger, I would hear this question all the time, so I know how annoying the question can be.

It’s not a bad thing being a quiet introvert, but I still feel like I’m being judged by hearing the question.

It almost makes me feel that I’m not good enough and start to doubt who I am like there is something wrong with me.

I realize, though, some people are uncomfortable with silence, and they can’t take it. So what do they do? They try to force us to say something, by saying something like, “Say something, you are to quiet.”

There are many different things you could say in response but take it from Henry Ford, who said, “Never complain, never explain.”

So instead of giving a detailed answer, respond with a firm, “Because I’m quiet“, or “Because I am” as opposed to “Because I like being quiet,” which will leave you open to more questions about why you “like” being quiet.

There’s no right or wrong answer, try and be yourself, relax, and move on. If you are still looking for more answers back, you could say:

• “I’m just listening right now.”
• Don’t say anything and shrug or nod.
• “I’m in energy-saving mode.”
• “It’s so I can hear the voices in my head better.”
• “There is a party in my head.”

Remember, we don’t need to explain ourselves, be comfortable with who you are. You don’t need to adjust yourself to make other people feel more comfortable.

You could say, “I’m just myself, would you be more comfortable if I wasn’t so quiet?” Saying this could trigger some thought process in the other person, and maybe they’ll realize how bad of a question they just asked is.
