How come quietness is diregarded from being a personality aspect.

How come being quiet defines your personality as you have none. Being quiet is a personality, at least part of your personality aspect as you behave that way. Do most extroverts realize that not all people are social butterflies and o not like to talk incessantly. I was watching this one episode on TV, that there was some chinese guy who was answering one word sentences while the other people asked him questions(His name, where he's from, what happened to him in his life, ect) and then after that something must've excited him for him to speak in an animated tone of voice and then one of the main characters say "Now he gets a personality." Um, no, he already did have a personality. His character was based off of shyness, not being a complete extrovert 5 minutes later. If something had surprised him like that, then he was surprised, not actually because he IS extroverted. I don't know if you guys get what I'm saying. That guy was only surprised by something he never seen before, but that doesn't make him fully extroverted just because of that. No one alters from being introverted to extroverted so quickly anyways. Damn, I'm sick of people saying that extroverts show off their real personality and quietness seems to be fake. Some extroverts can be phonies, some of their personalities are phonies. I get that they say they have a chance to show them who they are and how they are like, but don't quiet people require aspects that make them seem interesting as well. I feel bad for introverts who feel they have to bring themselves on crazy situations just get liked by others when really they should meet people who won't judge them just because they aren't the same. I wish extroverts would realize this.

do you hang around a lot of people who consider themselves extroverts? its ok, i know.

i was struggling the other day talking to a friend who i hadnt seen in a long while. trying to explain how SA affects EVERYTHING. She thought it just had to do with public speaking.

so i get the frustration of how people misunderstand, misinterpret, and completly dont get the real depth of personality and character that exists under the camoflage of Quietness, or Introvert, or SA. personally, i am tired of the blank stare and the stupid responses after i have already explained it. ;p
