Being an introvert in a world that can't stop talking.

People say that I am cold, distant and even shy. Sometimes, they are surprised about that fact this and they say that I don't look like Spanish (which who are presumably warm and friendly) but more like someone from England or Germany. english or german people. Also They also say that I am very calm, almost as if this like it is a negative thing,.

Yes, I admit that I am a very calm person and I have been told so many numerous times how laid back I am.
I live in the city yet I don't live a city life. The city is fast, busy and never stops but I'm quite the opposite. The last time I was told that I was laid back was by my aunt and it was said to offend me and was by being used in a bad context.

Why do people tend to see this aspect part of my personality as a negative one? Why do they accuse me of being cold, like I am some kinda a type of bad person?

I know I’m an introvert because I enjoy solitude. I have never dreamed of immersing myself in noisy, crowded places. I speak quietly and only occasionally.

I'm quiet, afraid to speak (I don't speak unless spoken to) and if there is any discussion taking place, I move as far away as possible.
When people talk to me, I am very cautious because I'm not used to engaging in conversations. which I'm also not sure how it this looks to others as I can be quite emotionless (although mentally I'm very emotional mentally).

When I`m having problems, usually with my friends, I know I should need to talk about it with anyoneabout it with someone but I don't. I never talk about my own problems and I'd would rather just be alone. I think about these issues my things alone, and feel no need to reveal show my feelings to anyone as they are very private. in my opinion.

I know being an introvert has negative connotations and people blame me for that, but why? just Is it only because I don't like to go to a party, to talk a lot and to meet a lot of many new people? Whatever.. (try not to repeat the same phrase in the same sentence "a lot")

I only know that's me, that's how I am and I wouldn't want to change anything about myself. It took a while for me to understand that,this, but now that I do, I would not change it for the world.

A very well written composition!  Your English is very good and just required some polishing touches and a few word insertions to make it really shine.

I can relate to many of the things you mentioned as I too, have always been an introvert.  I have forced myself to become more outgoing but like you, I am very comfortable with my own company and who I am and do not pay much attention to what others may think of me.  I believe that if you are comfortable and happy with who you are that is really all that matters.

Keep up your excellent work Crissy and I look forward to seeing more from you in the near future.

Being an introvert in a the world, that we can't stop talking.

People say I am cold, distant, even and shy. Sometimes they are surprised about that fact and they says that I don't look like spanish (which they are presumably more warm and friendly) but unlike english or german people. Also they say I am very calm, like as if it is a negative thing,.

Yes, I admit, I am a very calm person, I it have been told so many times to me that how laid back I am.
I live in the city yet now I don't live like a city life, the city life is fast, busy and it never stops. I'm quite the opposite to it. The last time I was had been told that I was am laid back was is by my aunt and it was said to had offended me and was used in a bad context.

Why people tend to see this aspect as a negative one? Why they accuse me of being cold, like I am kinda a bad person?

I know, I’m an introvert because I enjoy solitude. I have never dreamed of immersing myself into noisy, crowded places. I speak quietly and occasionally.

I'm quiet, afraid reluctant to speak (I don't speak unless spoken to), if there is any discussion, I tend to move as far away as much as possible.
When people talk to me,that I am very cautious, because I 'm not use to do not like to engaging in conversations which I'm not sure. how it looks to others as I can may be looks quite emotionless (although I'm very emotional, mentally).

When having encountered with problems, usually my friends need try to talk about it with anyone, but I don't, I never talk about my own problems and I'd rather likes to  be alone. I think about my things  problems alone, and no need find no reason to reveal, show my feelings to anyone others.they These are very private personnal ,in my opinion.

I know being an introvert,it has negative connotations, people blame me for that, but why? just because I don't like to go to a party, to talk a lot, to meet a lot of people? Whatever..

I only know, that's it's me, that's how I am, I wouldn't will not change anything about myself. It took a while for me to understand that, but now that what I can do, I would can not change for the whole world.

Introvert or extrovert both are just qualities.not good nor bad, i am both .sometime you would find me introvert and sometime extrovert, you just need to see that is your nature become hurdle in fulfilling your dreams, is stoping you from what you want to do truly in life ? Then you should see about this,otherwise what others are thinkig doesnt matter ,setisfaction must. Feel good must.
