Hi jayne..sorry about the Seagulls, but Peterborough won.

"what are disadvantages of being quiet person?"that's the question.

"but working in a library is..."

Still don't get it.

I'm quiet in a crowd or even a few people sometmes , and coupled with the fact that I haven't got a strong voice it makes it difficult for me to be heard in a chatty environment.
When I was younger one of my best friends back then told me that when she first dared to come up and talk to me she wasn't sure if I was just quiet or if I was a downright snob not talking to anyone tota . x

beejay how we take being outgoing so easily!!!

[beejay1124]

? puddi

[joggerjayne]

yeah, right, beejay !

Oh ... quiet people are no use at football matches.

Sara ... you didn't need to sat it, no. We all know what tota123 means. We're just being obtuse.

Okay ... I'm off to pick up a takeaway. Back in a bit.

Sorry - was just rolling about laughing at beejay being quiet!

[sara3]

looking confident is more than half the battle, and the more you try it the more confident you become.

I don't always feel confident but I can do a pretty good cover-up. it gets easier, really :o)

[puddicat]

beejay i take it for granted cos i am outgoing and sometimes i hate it!!!

[beejay1124]

Bensma--behave

[beejay1124]

ok Puddi--just misread your sentence-so i did
i would like to be outgoing

[bensmum]

Actually I think Sara has it about right there. A look of confidence can give the impression of being outgoing even if you're not. I'm naturally pretty quiet among people I don't know well but I make the effort (and sometimes it is a real effort) to be more outgoing

[bensmum]

Where would you want to be outgoing to beejay? Because you're not going to pretend you're a shrinking violet now are you?

Think some of my confidence is waining as i get older!!!

[bensmum]

Puddi - I find the opposite for me is true. I don't care so much what people think now so I'm more prepared to say what I think!

im a quiet person, but sometimes im not esp. if im at a football match, or watching footy at a pub or tv.

but when out with mates, i dont like making a convo because no one can ever hear me, and i dont like raising my voice.

but 95% of the time im just quiet.

one of our colleage at work.. whose only in once a week, (normally works from home), he is really quiet, when he talks to u, it sounds as though hes whispering. and you'l feel like you want to higher the volume from your ear!

but then again i think i speak like him, i usually have to repeat myself or having to shout b4 someone can hear me!! is it me?? lol
