Sometimes being the quiet one in your family or friend group can be fun, and sometimes it's not. Regardless, here are 20 things that happen when you are considered to be the quiet girl.

1. You are often told to "speak up."

2. When you do speak up, you tend to get interrupted.

...or you're told to be quiet. You just never win.

3. People may think you're rude even though you're probably the nicest person in the room.

4. People often forget you're in the room.

This isn't so bad...until they start talking about you.

5. You always hear the same joke that you're either a psycho-killer or an evil genius.

6. Teachers like to call on you because they want you to participate more.

Please just let me be quiet in this corner by myself, please.

7. You deal with a lot of awkward silences.

8. You're really good at eavesdropping.

9. People come to you with all of the really good secrets.

10. For some reason, a lot of people really want to see you drunk.

11. You're really good at playing hide-n-seek because you can be quiet for hours.

12. You have no problem being alone.

Which means you are also good at entertaining yourself.

13. You often think of clever things to say after the situation.

Not like you would have said them anyway.

14. You dread holidays because you know you will have to answer about five dozen questions.

15. Only the people that really know you know that you actually do talk...quite a bit, too.

16. You get asked "What's wrong?" almost daily.

Nothing is wrong with me. I just don't like to talk every time there is some silence.

17. You actually like silence.

18. Flirting doesn't happen.

You flirting is just staring at your crush from across the room.

19. You never start the conversation unless you're feeling extra bold.

20. Public speaking is always a disaster.

Even if you're not nervous, usually people can't hear you...especially the people in the back of the room.
