So I’m very quiet and shy in person, I usually don’t start a conversation unless I’m spoken to or think of something to say. I can easily stay quiet for a whole day and it’s a problem for the person I’m with. 
I’m so used to people not listening or not wanting to hear what I have to say I’m just automatically silent now. It feels like torture to make myself talk but I know I have to if I want to be in a relationship. 
Has anyone else had experiences being quiet and shy themselves? Or have you ever dealt with someone shy and quiet?
