Anyone else severely quiet?

[PhantomPod]

I'm quiet, unless people talk to me. At work I used to sit in a cubicle (the walls are low so you can see and talk to people) where no one around me really talked to me. But now I moved into a different group and I sit in a different cubicle and the guy who sits behind me talks to me all the time, so I find that I end up talking a lot. It's quite nice, actually. We just talk about TV shows and random/funny things and he'll ask what I'm doing each night and what my plans are on the weekends. At first I used to have anxiety about people asking me what I'm doing on my weekends, but now I don't feel embarrassed about saying, "oh, not too much, just gonna relax and maybe watch a movie." I'd feel so lame before. But this guy actually doesn't do too much either, so it really shows how most people's lives are just as mundane as yours lol. Anyways, I"m usually quiet, except when people talk to me.

There is only one person outside of my house I can speak to freely everyone else and I am in don't speak until spoken to mode.

In almost all my previous jobs, I dont speak unless spoken to. It never bothered me really because I always saw work as "work" and not a place to socialize. I used to get in and get out kinda thing.

I am the same way at work, and this is why I hate jobs where there are people around, which practically every job has. It's bad enough to be at work doing some boring work, but then when you are doing the work and when you are on break or not working I still don't talk to people. Like people are supposed to enjoy breaks, I view breaks as being the same as work except it's even more boring cuz I'm doing absolutely nothing except sitting there thinking. I worked at a restaurant for 9 months and after the first day I never initiated a regular conversation with a soul. What was scary was I never had a desire to talk to people.

Yes, i have always had a quiet nature. I think a factory job while tedious, would be great for me as you don't have to talk to anyone during your work (with the exception of luchtime).
Unfortunately there are no factories where I live::

I'm only severely quiet around those who I don't know or barely know, which would be most situations I guess. I'm definitely super quiet in school since I don't share the same schedule as my friends, so I don't hang with anyone much. I really only talk alot in front of my family and sometimes my friends.

I've only got a certain amount of conversations/small talk in me. The rest of the time it's long periods of silence. Personally, i don't like to talk and talk all day long. I like my quiet time to think to myself for awhile.
Some people never shut up, and are incapable of these periods of silence. These are usually the people who say condescending things like 'You're so quiet!'. And I don't want to feel like im obligated to say a specific amount of words every minute or every hour.

I don't want to feel that way either. You have put into words some things I could not.

I actually think it's better to talk naturally, for example if you are sitting with three other people on a bus or a train or at at a table then you will notice that suddenly the other people often feel obliged to talk non-stop no matter what the subject and so to talk for the sake of talking, which can be fun and random and interesting but often its really needy on their part to actually do this for the entire outing. I enjoy heraing their stories and i try to keep up ..

However i really enjoy it when you have a bunch of friends and you can be quiet together and still feel comfortable and then if we feel like chatting then we can talk about stuff as well.

i like it that you can be out at a festival and a friend can just lean on your shoulder for a while without us having to say anything but out of friendship etc ....or when you can just lay there on the ground together and you are just yourself, not trying to be something you are not and not trying too hard to impress.
