So yes I believe there is such thing as a 'quiet psychotic'

I'm one of the "quiet" types when I'm psychotic as well. If someone talked to me yes they would know(I tend to talk in word salad when I'm having a bad episode), but I don't do the shouting and breaking stuff kind of thing. I just get really withdrawn and I am disinclined to interact with anyone.
I'm naturally a pretty quiet person, so it stands to reason that does make a difference in how my psychosis manifests.
