30 Comebacks For People Who Always Get To Hear, ‘Why Are You So Quiet?’

I am a very quiet person by nature. I am very laid back and simple. On the scale of an extrovert to introvert, I definitely fall under the introvert side, but I also like to socialise.

Often when I am out and enjoying in my own head-space, people bombard me with questions like…”Tu kuch bol kyu nahi rahi?”, “Kuch hua hai kya?”, “Yaar, tu itna chup kyu rehti hai”, “Ab nahi bolegi toh sab chale jayege tab bolegi kya?” and what not.

Well, to be honest…I am quite shy at public gatherings and takes time for me to open up. And most of the time, I end up driving people away, because I come off as a boring person, a loner or someone who doesn’t want to gel. But I don’t want to give away that vibe.

So I have compiled 30 EPIC comebacks for those who speak less or can be dubbed as introverts. These will help you when you get awfully pissed with the same question or will make you sound so darn witty that the entire group will rave only about you. So choose your comeback wisely.

1. I can’t plot a murder out loud now, can I?

2. I’m really concentrating on holding this fart in. (You can also add: Can you smell that, it’s all your fault!)

3. Oh, do you see me?

4. Oh, I talk. Just not to you!

5. I will tell you, but then I’ll have to kill you. (evil grin)

6. Yeah because I am bored.

7. I am a spy, don’t tell anyone.

8. You’re all just so interesting, I love listening. (You can’t go wrong with a compliment)

9.*puts hand on his/her mouth* shhhhh just shhhhh… (Will never ask you anything again)

10. You know, I am a woman/man of a few words.

11. Oh, you noticed? Thanks!

12. I am studying my next prey…

13. I have taken the vow of silence. Shit you broke it!

14. Oh yes, but you know…I am a dying breed.

15. Trust me, there’s a party going on inside!

16. Just thinking if I discarded the beer bottles from my room last night.

17. I am from the future, I have heard all of it……

18. Kya bolu, kya bolu, kya bolu.(repeat 10 times) – Itna toh bolti hoon!

19. I am shy because I am secretly in love with you. (Then laugh like a maniac.)

20. You should have seen me yesterday, I spoke too much. I am balancing it out!

21. Why, did you just ask me out? (A handy pick-up line too)

22. Arey, I said…you weren’t paying attention?

23. I speak on a different decibel level.

24. Because my words are worth a million bucks.

25. My invisible braces hinder the talking process!

26. Mumma ne kaha sabke saath bakwas nahi karte….

27. But you speak a lot, which is good. Why don’t you talk some more?

28. Because when I see you, I go speechless! (Compliments, like I said…can never go wrong)

29. I was speaking with my body language, but you didn’t notice.

30. I want to but it is just that your face puts me off.
