My Shy, Quiet Side (And Why I Will Never Change That Part of Me)

People keep asking my why I am so quiet, and tell me that I should talk more.

Because that is who I am.

Because I don't want to talk all the time.

Because I prefer to listen more than I talk.

Just...because.

Although, I don't think I should have to explain why I am the way I am to anyone.

I am who I am, and that is not going to change any time soon.

Not everyone needs/wants to talk all the time.

I don't feel the need to fill silence with useless talk, and I don't want to say something just for the sake of saying something. I just don't see the point.

Why is that so hard to comprehend/accept, that not everyone likes to talk much?

I don't like having a lot of attention on myself, and I am very self-conscious, so that is another reason why I don't talk much. It is awkward, and I do not like the feeling.

Yes, being shy can be frustrating at times, because it holds me back from doing things I want to do, or saying something I really want to say, but in the end, it is a part of who I am, and I am learning to love this part of me.

So please, stop asking why, and stop telling me to talk more. That does not help in the slightest. It won't be changing any time soon. I will not talk more, just because someone wants me to.
