Since When Did Being Quiet Mean I Have Pride?
<p><br/></p><p>Being a quiet person doesn’t mean you’re proud or arrogant. Yet, some people assume that if you’re not loud or talkative, you think you’re better than others. This misunderstanding needs to be cleared up.</p><p><br/></p><p>First, being quiet is just how some people are. Everyone has a different personality. Some love to talk and be the center of attention, while others prefer to listen and speak only when they have something meaningful to say. Choosing to stay quiet doesn’t mean you’re looking down on anyone—it’s just your way of being comfortable.</p><p><br/></p><p>Second, society often values loudness. People who speak up, joke a lot, or dominate conversations are seen as confident or friendly. Quiet people can be seen as distant or stuck-up, but that’s unfair. Many quiet people are kind, thoughtful, and great listeners. They might be shy, or they might just enjoy observing instead of talking. That’s not pride—it’s their nature.</p><p><br/></p><p>Third, quiet people often get judged too quickly. If you don’t talk much, some assume you’re judging them or think you’re too good to join in. But being quiet doesn’t mean you’re judging anyone. You might be processing your thoughts, feeling unsure, or just enjoying the moment without needing to speak.</p><p><br/></p><p>Finally, pride is about actions, not silence. A proud person might brag, belittle others, or act superior, whether they’re loud or quiet. Silence alone doesn’t show pride—it’s just a personality trait. Judging someone for being quiet is like judging someone for being tall or short. It’s who they are, not a sign of arrogance.</p><p><br/></p><p>So, since when did being quiet mean you have pride? It doesn’t. Quiet people deserve to be understood, not misjudged. Let’s stop assuming and start appreciating people for who they are, whether they’re loud or soft-spoken.</p>
