Welcome then to the club
. It seems to me that shy and/or quiet and/or introverted people are always misinterpreted and misjudged by others. Unless you find someone or somewhere where you are accepted just as you are, people want to change you and they say things that make you feel something is inherently wrong with you and that makes me feel bad, or it did. Now I stay alone as much as I can and I feel better being alone most of the time, the alternative is more painful.
It never occurs to people to talk (i.e. to me) to find out what is inside me and I used to say that, because I don't talk and impose myself on people, they think I'm empty and boring--that was what I believed when I lived in the States anyway. I don't like to talk unless I know someone is listening and unless the person wants to hear what I have to say, and that is really rare. I also don't talk just to hear my own voice. I have to have something to say.
