Being quiet, calm and calculative make you dangerous! Its a sign of strength. People tend to hate what they don't understand so its normal. Just ignore them 51 Likes 2 Shares |

IamYourNeighbor: It is. Even if you quiet you should display madness once in a while. One way quiet people can display strength is by ignoring. Is anyone trying to be rude, ignore them to the extent that they'll doubt their existence. Once in a while madness works better though. 20 Likes 2 Shares |

Quiet, but people know not to phuck with me, in fact, I get respected for it. Though, there are the ignorant few that'll always want to mistake it for weakness, they learn their lessons hard and fast. 3 Likes |

It depends. Let me use myself as an example, I'm a quiet person, I hate unprofitable and unnecessary arguments/conversations but that doesn't mean that if you trample on my rights of try to cheat me I'll play the mute role on you. It's then you'll know that I'm a tamed mad man. Weakness in my own opinion can be defined as inability to speak up for yourself admist oppression. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Take for instance, at first glance people draw the conclusion that I'm quiet and gentle. I'm not even an introvert nor an extrovert. I am an Ambivert. I use discretion first, over action. Physically, i don't even know my own strength. Like in the time past , I've exhibited jaw dropping physical strength. |

Ikillbrokehoes: Not at all. I think I'm just a balanced person. Maybe an ambivert. I'm not loud, I'm not the life-of-the-party... infact I'm boring at parties. I prefer to sit and gist while observing other people have fun. I prefer being indoors than outdoor, I perfectly enjoy my own company, I have the thinking streak... those are introverted qualities yeah? But I'm not shy (except when I'm asked to dance), I make friends easily, and I'm by no means quiet - I talk freely and easily anywhere... just not loud. 8 Likes |

Being QUIET s not necessarily a sign of weakness. Not knowing how to say NO is a sign of weakness. A quiet man who tells you NO with a straight face without unecessary shalaye is feared the most. What you should realize is that being too loud most often turn you to a JOKE, especially when your loudness doesn't match with your action. Whenever a QUIET man talks, everybody listens. A loud person only gets the attention of strangers. Those who know the loud man for his loudness rarely take him seriously. 13 Likes 1 Share |

Well im a very quiet person but honestly i think it is a sign of weakness. As much as possible i try not to get confrontational and people will hurt you and just wave it off cos you hardly react. The weird thing is that you can hurt my feelings 49 times and i ll let it go but the 50th one will bring out all the anger i ve bottled up against you and the 50th offence may not even be as serious as the previous ones. So you ll be thinking "is it not this small thing i did?" But in my mind im looking at all the things u ve been doing...i dont think it is healthy. 5 Likes |

Ikillbrokehoes:True, but also I noticed from the few I've met, there re quiet pple who speak up at the slightest provocation, they tell u how it hurts dem the moment u step out of line but they are quiet, and also there's the set that wave things by or bottle up things and only react wen they can't take it anymore or u pushed them to d line and they have no choice than to react. This set of people at bolded wen they eventually let lose they either go out of line, cry in some cases or don't last in anger after few minutes or hours they are back to their normal self. Those that fall into dis category are either nice pple or softhearted folks. I'm a quiet person myself, too quiet to the point none of my friends in skul den saw me angry for once and dis are close friends of mine we literally do everything together and for 5yrs+ they never saw me angry not once. The day I got angry cus someone took advantage of my quietness they were all surprised and I said somethings I shouldn't have said that night. For those that are quiet and don't speak out, I know it's not easy some might not understand y I said it's not easy..... But I'll tell u what a friend told me recently; TRY TO EXPRESS YOUR EMOTION A LITTLE MORE Being quiet is not a sign of weakness, it becomes one wen u let pple toss u around without doing anything about it or let others speak or fight for you wen u can stand and fight.
