Why are you so quiet?

[Mike_Lowery]

Don't you hate it when friends and/ or co-workers ask you this? Basically, I ain't got ish to say to you.

My usual response: "There are plenty of loud, obnoxious people in the world, and I offer a pleasant alternative."

I'd respond, "why are you so loud?"

Or grab an air horn and blast it in their face and tell them, "There is that better?"

that's more tactful than saying, "chill, you're not that interesting."

Thanks, Paula. You beat me to it. If I am quiet, people who know me figure something has got to be wrong.

I'm quiet out of sympathy for those who have hangovers.

Yes, quite. I've got a well earned reputation for cracking wise, spouting useless trivia at home and when I'm out, and acting like a lunatic when I'm on stage, so when I'm quiet and my family and friends assume something is wrong they're usually right. Not that asking me will get me to talk about it. The whole point of being quiet is that I don't want to talk about it.

Ditto for me. Those who met me at the HT Christmas Party last year know why.

If I am quiet, people already know better not to approach me.

Same here. It's not that I'm that loud, but given the choice, I think most prefer quiet.

Re: Why are you so quiet?

I get this every once in a while, and it usually surprises me, because I don't really consider myself very social or talkative unless in my group of friends. I usually mumble something to the effect of being tired.
