I don't talk a lot. I generally prefer to be quiet.
I really cannot get interested in speaking or listening to people
Sometimes their voices hurt my head

Am I the only one?

I'm a quiet person, not at home but I'm shy around most people and I don't really ever have anything to say.

I'm generally pretty quiet and don't have much to say unless you get me started on something I'm really interested in. I understand their voices hurting your head, I usually need a day or two alone to "recharge" after being around most people for extended periods of time.

Your first sentence describes me perfectly! Couldn't have said it better myself

My daughter was always extremely quiet as a child. We thought she was just shy. We realize now she had a low level depression.

Depends on my mood. Generally I'm quite talkative and I enjoy interacting with others a lot. I'm also drawn to introverts (I would class myself as an introvert too, I'm just a more outgoing one but I need to recharge after interacting with people).

When I'm not in the mood or I am very tired I get sensory overload from people talking that I find quite upsetting. It's completely normal to be quiet and it's not a bad thing

I don't talk too much at the best of times. I have a hard time carrying a conversation and find my meds dumb me down which is evident when I do talk. I started out not being gregarious and the bipolar just makes it that much worse, especially when I'm depressed

I am very quiet. I have a hard time interacting with people I wish I was able to be able to task more

I am more open in text then I am in person. I think we are still normal even though we feel alike.
