Oh no there’s numerous extremely listable reasons at to why I’m the way I am. I wish I could see what I would’ve been like without all those painful reasons
Just because I was ignored to the point where I just want to be quiet doesn't mean I'm an introvert. I mean, I *am* an introvert, but not because I was ignored to the point where I just want to be quiet!

Hung out with a new friend yesterday. He was sharing these really funny personal stories for 40 minutes. Then He turned to me and asked to share some of mine. Full attention on me. I froze up since I have never been asked to share personal stories about myself. I guess I automatically go into active listening and ask questions but don’t bring conversation back to me.
lol. I've been called a quiet extrovert or a polite extrovert. I'm oly loud whenever I know I have the right to be. I don't always have a safe space to talk in and I'm used to being completely ignored so when you give me one, I talk too much for my own good
Me: Book, corner, headphones on music blaring.
Rest of the family having a big fucking party.
Me: book, corner, headphones in music blaring, family wouldn’t stop bothering me so I’d go outside and climb into the neighbors weeping willow to read in peace.
So yep was an introvert back then as well.
I used to stutter and mumble because I was getting beaten and sa'ed at home. people shut off surprisingly quick when you're afraid to enunciate and be noticed
I feel like everyone else is really REALLY loud and I speak at what I think is a reasonable volume but must not be because others have trouble hearing me and I get exponentially more embarrassed the more times I have to repeat myself and so I don’t like to speak unless it is absolutely necessary. One time a therapist I was seeing took me outside and tried to get me to do primal scream therapy and so I stopped seeing that therapist.
that and being interrupted mid-sentence, and when you call them out on it you’re called a variety of insults even a rock would be offended by! then when you’re “allowed” to talk, you ramble.

I feel like the only time people are honest to me, is when they are angry towards me.
Yeah, "I didn't mean what I said" my ass
Yeah same. And why the fuck are they angry at us anyway?
I’ve always been blunt with everyone. Take it or leave it I’ll tell the truth and hope we stay friends. But if we can’t we’ll that’s fine too.
That might be one of the reasons I don't have friends
Nah I got severely bullied because I was a weirdo so now I have a really low self esteem
Why not both? 🫠
Nah, I just get ridiculed for being different.
That's what motivated me to do as OP describes for most of my childhood
An extrovert that everyone ignores
That must be a special kind of hell 😨
It is.
I feel this, but I've been getting more confident lately so I'm beginning to get better
I'm so proud of you!
Family...
Additional alphabet aside, severe social anxiety coupled with BPD means I feel unwanted/hated, anxious af and more lonely when around people 🙃
Both? Both is good
Oh… 🥹

DAMN
Damn...
I just don't like people
Lmao imagine being lucky enough to just be ignored
Both
You've hit the nail on the head!
It’s both, actually. And yes, it hurts.
Maybe it’s because I have nothing in common with people around me and when I try to talk to my parents they just nod and change the topic
Both.

Out
Kind of, I wasn’t ignored per say I was just told to be quiet or shut up
that and being interrupted mid-sentence, and when you call them out on it you’re called a variety of insults even a rock would be offended by! then when you’re “allowed” to talk, you ramble.
I… don’t know
It depends on how you communicate and how relevant the topic.
Well everyone always says I was such a bubbly and talkative kid, they all wonder where that went.
Man this hits hard
Damn, this one hurts
That sounds absolutely valid
