Why do women keep remarking that I’m quiet at work?

[Anti-Anime]

practically zero women in my dept . it's awesome. Sometimes I go home without saying more than a sentence

 

[Smokin Rider]

Get set up for a #MeToo case, brehs.

That’s why I don’t like our media, it has a trickle down effect whether people want to admit it or not, our movies and music, and tv shows, while harboring some of the greatest art in their mediums really give us an image of being extra in every aspect, I gotta live with a “damned if I do, damned if I don’t” mindset being around a big group of people constantly

I'll take this a step further. There was a thread a while back with a person bragging about how American Black music and styles are followed and copied the world over. I basically said that this was true and has been so for decades , but unless the ones creating this content/style are the ones capitalizing from it...nothing to brag about.
Also said that the people controlling the distribution of that content will only release the stuff that generates the most money. People inside and outside of america have a DISTORTED view of who Black people are. More importantly though, young Black kids have this distorted view of who they are. Not 1/100th of Black artistic genius is on display in popular media.

I went overseas in early 2000s and dudes actually told me that they were surprised my voice was so deep. In the popular films from America that featured Blacks, they were mostly comedies...and the translation/dubbbing was ususally a high pitched voice....I guess to make the character more buffoonish.

Brag about being the best singers and dancers in the world, and then get surprised when the world sees us as singers and dancers,Brohams.

Quiet Black Men are very terrifying to non Blacks for some reason.

And apparently, even some c00ns in here despise quiet Black men. I never knew

I talk my azz off.Makes the time go by quicker

 

[Exlurkernegro]

At my job I'm the only black male there so I have a reason not to talk much. I have no one to relate to.

Americans want their workplace to be like that TV show the Office.
Especially if you work around a lot of women the very thought of silence makes them uncomfortable
Explains why the worker productivity rates here are in the fukking toilet compared to European countries despite the fact that we work more hours
How you gotta carry yourself depends on whether you working a job or a career
If it’s a long term thing you have to be sociable or they will make up a reason to fire you or deny you promotions
Like somebody above me said, how well you do your work has little to do with how far you can go in most careers

US is either in top 5 or top 3 of most productive workers in the world lists. Typically its nations like Luxemburg or Norway over it, its more productive than most european nations.

And you have your place in your work place, actually people like you and ones who don’t talk often work hand in hand cause you can make things more lively and a more quiet breh can be unassuming so he can clue you into things people wouldn’t consider them for

 

[Elle Driver]

It’s good to be quiet but people who aren’t comfortable in silence find it strange and awkward.

 

[Rell Lauren]

Because you're quiet. It's one thing to make small talk every now and then. It's another to keep your head down and work all day without saying anything. If you're not viewed as attractive, it isn't flirting.

To further go off of this, there's a time and place for being social. Some people get promoted off of the strength of them knowing how to play the game; I've seen it personally. As long as you aren't kissing ass, being the class clown and are productive at work, it is ok to make small talk.

I don't intrude on the quiet brehs with all that yappity yap shyt.I think it's corny when people attempt to make someone feel like

an oddball simply because that person is quiet.It's tacky & immature.I let people come as they are.Even quiet brehs respond

to positive body language and a handshake.You don't always have to verbalize everything in order to establish harmony with a co-worker

 

[Wardo]

I got .... You dont talk much. I responded yeah you right.

 

[010101]

y'all sound miserable misanthropic & unpleasant jajajahahahaa

you can be reserved & still up your social status

i got the quiet comments my whole.life as well

but i also always been good at steering conversations toward a meaningful purpose

no need for clowning or small.talk on my end

i most often end up the individual in the group everyone confesses their secrets to & seeks out for advice

all the while not being a long.talker
