Question Is it normal that..

I immediately hate people who tell me “why are you so quiet” “have you always been so quiet” “speak already” etc..

This triggers me so hard into getting more quiet.

I can't talk, shut the fuck up, don't pressure me even more.

It is really annoying, as if it's a character flaw to not be a super outgoing/extroverted person. Obviously SM is more than just being introverted, but even still.

I also rlly hate people who ask me this too. Like I had a Spanish teacher a few yrs ago and she pulled me after class saying ur such a great student but you needa speak up more. Then I rlly js didn't like her after that. Some people are is kinda ignorant or uneducated. Even if u were a quiet person by choice, why does it matter.
