I'm very self conscious about being quiet?

i too used to be calm and quiet. i still am but with me its not noticeable as i still can be very out going. its not always a bad thing, take me for example, as a result of being calm and quite, ive become a good listener, making it easier for me to make friends as im a good listener most times. alot of the time the reason for being quiet is because your worried about wether what you could say is the right things. you want your friends to hear what they want to hear from you and you might think its best not to say anything rather than say something wrong. if i was you, id just say what you think sometimes and see how they react to it. hope this helps
