I was wondering if you hate quiet people, if so. Why? (Mostly quiet guys I noticed are hated). Because I'm a quiet, anxious guy and I heard a girl the other day talk about another kid who is quiet and she said" he's so annoying, he doesn't ever talk, I hate him?" I don't understand. I can't speak for every quiet guy but I have selective mutism and I can't bring myself to talk. I try to be as nice as possible I just can't really speak. So do you hate quiet people? Why? (I said guys because I'm a guy and the only other quiet kid I know is a guy)

No, i like quiet guys cause I'm exactly the same. I don't care for senseless chatter and would much rather have dead silence than have to make an effort to follow a conversation about someone's Halloween costume or Pinterest account. I like meaningful conversations and more often than not, I get that from quiet guys because they only talk when there is something really profound in their minds.



If you take any notes from history, science and religion, you'll know that it's part of human nature to fear that which we cannot understand (Church vs Galileo, Church vs Freemasons, European explorers discovering indigenous people, calling them savages, burning their villages, then turning them into slaves). So in a way, that girl's reaction to the quiet guy, is still very much in the context of human nature. Since she cannot talk to him, she cannot tell what he is thinking or feeling, and for her, that is enough to make her anxious.



Don't pay her any mind, there is always going to be someone out there who will think you're weird, but there is also always going to be someone who'll think you're awesome.

No. I'd rather be around a relatively quiet person than a compulsive talker. A compulsive talker is way more annoying. Sometimes quiet people are just shy. Other quite people are just more selective in what they want to say. I'm somewhat quiet, but it depends on the situation and who I'm around. I was also kinda shy when I was younger but it often worked in my favor. A lot of girls were interested in me and I somehow had a lot of girlfriends when I was in my late teens through my twenties. I guess I seemed mysterious or something. Once got they to know me, they realized that I was actually just a nice guy. Of course it didn't hurt that I was fairly good looking when I was young.

No, I don't hate quiet people. Sometimes your quietness reveals others' real character without an effort. Sometimes some people used to think about quiet people that they are head weight. In fact they never understand that they lack intelligence and going crazy.

I'm probably not the most qualified person to answer this as I'm a really quiet person myself, but I might be able to help. I think it most likely has a lot to do with the fact that on TV and stuff like that, a ton of people are really out going and talkative, so people think that's how everybody is. So when they see someone who would rather just sit and listen to other people they aren't sure what to think. "Maybe they're mad." "Maybe they don't care." "Maybe they're stuck up or something." These are a lot of the things I hear people say about quiet people. I feel like that's most of the problem. But you shouldn't be upset with the outgoing people who don't understand you, it's just easier for them to ignore you or be mean than it is to try to understand you.

No. Nothing is wrong with being quiet. No need to be liked by everyone. That's impossible. There was a good Samaritan out there, he was always trying to help people, an unbelievably nice guy, everyone said he was nice, but still there was someone saying he was annoying. That's how the world is. Forget it. Just stay the way you are.

I'm going to be completely honest with you, and Im not going to BS. I notice the same exact thing with people, I am a quiet woman and some people dont trust me, they would stare sometimes, and act as if im their enemy. People of all ages, I just pretty much assume they have no other issues to worry about and no other people who is trying to do them wrong. So they look at you and they dont understand you. They're selfish.

The latest person to do this to me was my neighbor, he was up in the tree cutting it, and when I walked outside his mouth twisted up, he stopped what he was doing, and stared at me. Let me tell you, he looked weird as frick sitting in the tree like that.



You know what you should do? Ignore situations like that when it comes to your classmates and randoms. But when it comes to something like your neighbor, boss, SPEAK UP, It makes you feel loads of better! I remember one time some customer at work lied on me, and then my boss stormed and I pretty much told her in the most honest yet rightfully angry (respectful) way that the customer lied... It felt really good.



To answer your question, I dont hate quiet. I am a quiet person.

Do you think that the girl you were listening to speaks for everyone? Anyway, even though she does not speak for everyone, she is correct! Most of the world hates you for being quiet. There are even laws in Russia and Cuba to incarcerate people for years for being too quiet! Since you never talk, people don't trust you because we know your thinking bad thoughts about us (like your thinking bad things about me right now)! So, to answer your question, YES, I hate quiet people and especially SHORT Quiet people because we all know what your thinking of us!

"Hate" is a strong and usually thoughtless word, and I doubt that this girl actually loathes quiet people to that extent.



Sometimes it's uncomfortable and even awkward trying to hold a conversation when the other person can't or won't contribute much to it. That doesn't mean I hate people who can't or won't talk, but it does mean I won't look to them for much intellectual stimulation unless they have other ways to express themselves (like art, constructive design, writing, etc.).

No,I don't and actually enjoy others who are quiet and relaxed.

I'm past the age of hanging around those who are loud just to get attention.

No. I hate myself because I'm a worthless piece of crap, not just because I'm quiet.

the people who hate quiet guys have very low self-worth , so they think their quietness is an indicator that you don't like them or don't respect them ... they take it as that signal ... so they hate you for it .... it is all unconscious they are not even aware that is the reason they hate you

Not at all - I find loud chatty people tiresome. Remember the old adage - Empty vessels make the most noise.

Wtf makes you think quiet people are hated? Lmao, what, are you in elementary school?

And that girl is just some stupid ***** raised by liberal parents, and is probably gonna be knocked up and her body all used up by the time she hits age 18, don't worry about assholes like that.

Quiet people are actually better than other people in literally every way possible, except social aspects.

Mmmmmmmm delicious dislikes, give me more libcucks

Only mean people would say that, or someone with issues.
