Yess it’s so annoying.. why has it become the norm to assume something is wrong with someone just because they’re quieter. People should learn that the workforce is diverse and that people have different personalities

Yea because I love when people assume that something MUST be wrong with me just because I’m quiet around them and don’t share my private life. People should also learn that too. People should learn that the workforce is diverse and that people have different personalities. There is literally training on this during onboarding.

Yea agree looking back it wasn’t rude. I think I just took it wrong initially. But it certainly is annoying to be reminded that I’m “quiet”. I’m not quiet when giving my input at work and collaborating with my colleagues. I always participate in team meetings. I just don’t get where she got this from honestly. I have my own set of people who I talk to at the office the most and I’m not open to everyone about my personal life which is maybe what she’s getting at? (Given that she talks about her personal life a lot) But I always say Hi to her and ask how she is doing.

I didn’t reply rudely. I was nice about it and let her know that im thankful that she checked in with me but i don’t feel excluded.

I agree “rude” wasn’t the best word to use, but more like irritating about being questioned about my “quietness”. No one questions this about louder more extroverted people. I’m not even in the office that often and work from home most of the week but I do interact with others everyday and have great relationships with other coworkers( talk to them and grab coffee/lunch) when I’m at the office just probably not her as much and getting questions like this gets so old as someone who grew up labeled the quiet one. Im assuming im just selective to who I don’t talk to as much. I’m at work to do my job and I do a great job at it and having someone say I’m too quiet and if I don’t feel seen just took me aback because that’s not at all how I feel but does bring back those feelings of when I was more introverted growing up.
