Many think Quiet is stuck up. Many think that Quiet thinks it is too good to talk to them. That is not true. Quiet is just... quiet. Quiet doesn't like to talk. Quiet doesn't like to blab about itself, or what it's wearing, or who it hangs out with. Quiet has feelings, too. It doesn't criticize or call others names. Quiet likes to be silent, to watch and learn, and to fade into the background most times. It likes to be comfortable with people before it talks freely. Quiet does not like to be vulnerable, so it protects itself. Quiet is safe.

Never judge someone because they are quiet. They might be going through something that you can't even imagine. Or they might just not like to talk.

J'adore. The use of "it" to describe Quiet, the fact that it's in non-fiction. I relate well. Excellent.
