Normally people would complain about it being oh so annoying when people say, "You talk"
It's the tone that people use that get's annoying.
It would be the same feeling if you got called by your last name all year and the last day of school your teacher yells your name and everyone is confused about it. Here is what I'm talking about using my screen name.
"Pretty?" (classmates all year)
"Yes?" (Me)
"Do this" (classmates)
"Yes" (Me)
*last day of school*
"Maddy can you get the lights?"
I get up
"We don't have a Maddy... WAIT THAT'S YOUR NAME?"
That's the tone that we hate. The overdramatic tone
(and yeah this really happened to me)
But staying quiet during class isn't a bad thing. In fact when I'm quiet I understand the lesson clearly.
By me staying quiet we have balance in the classroom, balance that woudn't of happened if instead of me being an introvert I was an extrovert that wanted what I had to say to be listened to and now.
Yes sometimes I do say the answer but that's only when I'm either called on or no one is getting close to the answer.
When I do raise my hand no one seems to care that I don't speak as often as everyone else, mostly because I'm known for understanding the content.
When someone says "Wait, you talk?!" I just say yeah and everybody laughs at the person, mostly because the amount of introverts in a classroom is always the same.
SInce introverts are normally 1 out of 10 people in the classroom there's always another introvert in my class and we always get along, mostly because we understand each other.
When you meet another introvert, you feel like they understand, exept it's hard to pick out who other introverts are.
In class it's easier to pick out the socially awkward people, they stay quiet unless they feel like talking.
Staying quiet during school normally means you pay more attention and people come to you when they have questions about the subject. This is when we talk the most, to help people.
*So here's this chapter... I seem to always get off track when writing this...*
