So, They Say I'm Too Quiet

[Virtuous_Brotha]

not sure if its a race thing but i notice people will specifically point out how quiet i am at work/school but dont call out people who are just as quiet as me

 

[360dagod]

work is the perfect place to troll

 

[SirReginald]

I get the same crap at work

I'm just there to work not make friends

THIS at my job. Same way I am. I do NOT want to make friends on the job.

There was a thread about this topic a couple of weeks ago basically saying that people expect black men to be outgoing and talkative, when you not nikkas think you on the verge of a mass shooting

I blame the hype beasts that are the centerpiece of our social scene. Like you gotta be an OG mack and a comedian at the same time.

 

[TheBeigeBomber]

a lot of social anxiety in this thread

It's hard being black and quiet breh, just gotta deal as best as you can

Yeah it's hardest around other black folks. I remember back when I used to go to church. It was awful being a quiet person in that environment

 

[Pdiddy]

Bruh, fukk that small talk shyt...They just want you to talk for their own amusement.

 

[The God Poster]

I get the same alot too unless I been around you alot im not that outspoken. Far from shy so quiet would be an appropriate term

 

[The God Poster]

fukk them. You are who you are. I don't go to work to make friends. Don't tell those people nothing about your personal life. I worked at a company for 3 years and to this day they don't know shyt about me other than my college major.

They try to make lil remarks about me not eating lunch with them at my new job but I don't give a fukk. 90 days in and I ain't changing.

Not to knock you cuz ima quiet nikka also. But why you sound so hostile breh

 

[Flay Mayweather]

They want you to be "entertaining"

If you're working with whites mostly


*tap tap tippity tap*

 

[The God Poster]

If they talked to you about it they already have you down as a socially awkward weirdo my g might aswell stick with it

Nah he just gotta let shyt vibe naturally. I was like that as far as quiet the first four months at my job. Also said hello to everyone tho. 1 year in im cool with damn near everybody. Outside of the Supervisor im the main nikka they go to with questions etc..

Im a chatty patty once I know you tho. Not sure if OP the same so

I was playing that new Jeezy mixtape on my phone while on my route Saturday. This old white dude walked up to get his mail and asked me to not play that type of music.

no headphones?

 

[MikelArteta]

People asked how old I am, I just said I'm in my twenties. Asked where I lived I just said around here even though I don't.

Come in and stream tuje in radio go to lunch do my work go home

No photos on my desk, no nothing

fukk them. You are who you are. I don't go to work to make friends. Don't tell those people nothing about your personal life. I worked at a company for 3 years and to this day they don't know shyt about me other than my college major.

They try to make lil remarks about me not eating lunch with them at my new job but I don't give a fukk. 90 days in and I ain't changing.

So, I just start working part time as a mail carrier for the summer.

My supervisor told me that the other mail carriers are wondering why I'm so quiet.

One woman even called me a mute.

shyt, I say hi to everybody.

We only see each other for around 2 hours a day before heading out on the road.

I didn't know part to being a mail carrier is to be talkative with other mail carriers.

Maybe try and engage your coworkers in friendly conversation about their weekend, hobbies etc. above all else smile! No one likes to see a miserable face!

Quiet people are obnoxious as fukk
