I came here to say exactly this. Stop worrying about what others think and start living life on your terms. Focus on becoming the best version of yourself—one that you shape for no one else but you.
The beautiful side effect? Your authenticity and honesty will naturally transform how others see you. When you live genuinely, you inspire others to do the same.
At least when I'm quiet there's a moderate chance of people thinking I'm interesting. Most of the women I've been involved with first noticed me because I was the quiet one in the group. Never had any luck at all being chatty.
