She literally explains why “quiet” people are only quiet around you.

I only talk when there’s more depth. I can joke and clown around knowing they are communicative

best way to be 🫡

And if you have to ask me why am I so quiet, then you are not my people.

@nikangel39 “They’re Not Quiet … They’re Selective. “ 💯 Exactly . Why cast your “Pearls” to swine. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Observation, discernment and adjustment accordingly. Tis true 😌

finding your people is the hard part

She’s 100% right. I don’t give energy to people who don’t deserve it.

I completely relate to this. Sometimes the energy isn’t worth it.

I am a quiet person, but playful around someone I'm comfortable with. Then when I'm in a serious discussion, I listen properly, then when I want to make my point, the place becomes silent, then I speak. I've noticed that, and it makes me feel powerful in a way.

I learn a lot (or in most cases, confirm) by staying quiet and observing. People really show you why you prefer to stay in the background.

Well said, but an oversimplification. I work with small children who don't speak for many different reasons: self-protection, a parent that ALWAYS spoke for them, fear of judgement, stuttering, physical limitations, self-consciousness (new braces), anxiety and many others. This lady's brush is too broad.

I completely agree with this . This is soo me. I am very selective in rooms

@Chokoe_Baleigh Honestly, I’m not bothered. Let them stay silent until Jesus returns if they want to. People often overestimate their relevance in society. The truth is, the world won’t miss much simply because they choose to keep quiet.

True I work in a private academy and have a lot of opportunities to meet new students. Many of them stay cautious on figuring out who I am for the first time very quietly. After a few classes, they get familiar and comfortable with me and start expressing how they are.

We don’t waste words on fools.

She is absolutely right. There's this misconception that introverts don't talk. If you're the right person, I could talk to you for hours. However, it is incredibly challenging to always meet the right person, so for the most part, I stay quiet. 🤭

This is true. My husband would be considered as being quiet, but he isn’t. He’s one of the most intelligent person I’ve ever known.

Pretty much if you havent passed the vibe check i aint saying shit and im cool with that until vibe is cool. pretty simple

Absolutely! I will add I’ve been quiet around this person who chooses to disrespect me. They don’t see the fun side of me simply because they are toxic and mean so why would I share my joy & laughter with them. They think I’m boring, but the truth is they’re evil & hateful

This is spot on....I'm definitely not fully me around people that I don't trust and putting out negative vibes ...nope not talking much around them!!💯😁

@CookieHoneyLove Who is she? I want to listen to her more.

People think that I'm shy just because I don't talk much. I'm far from shy.

@HipHopSupreme Facts. Especially when your coworkers are nothing but yt people. Like chile, what makes you think I watch the bachelorette or shop at Traders Joe when you see me heating up some Michelins.

I’m quiet so I can read the room. I’m quiet if I sense the energy is off. I’m quiet if I feel like I have to mask or make myself small. My energy is for spaces where I feel aligned.

And not to confuse quiet w/shy. In her example quiet is intentional. Shy people are quiet not intentionally, as shyness is a personality trait not with forethought to set boundaries. Choosing silence in certain settings is selective, shyness is not.

Yup

I am more quiet when I don’t have anything to say , and I talk more on something I understand and have much more knowledge about it

They're selectively quiet

Hello ‼️Do not allow losers to play mind games. I ignore/block weirdos all the time. Someone wrote that is immature. You'll never get a conversation on where YOU had me fucked up. Its a simple disregard & discard; Everytime

@Buhlekhums Im whole different person with different people

It takes me a while to warm up to people and i'm sensitive to energy. If i'm quiet in a group it means i have no plans to befriend them, but if i like the group, i'll become alive and funny instantly cause i feel safe with them.

Yeah! Only when with family and trusted friends

Selective👌💕

It's about frequency and resonance. They become quite in rooms that the frequency clashes and loud where they resonate.
