your work requires that you stay with them, what will you do?
I will be teaching this month of June and I had already met my co-teachers. As of now, we are busy preparing some decorations for our classroom.I am a type of person who is quiet when I am working. But some of my co-teachers are very noisy. And sometimes they question me why I am so quiet and I just say I am just quiet when I am working on something. And they will not stop and keep on giving remarks to what I am doing.Some of them will say how beautiful is my work, but he will say it in a tone which is somehow annoying to the ears.
I do not know why they seems to be disturbed when I am so quiet. Well, I just smile if they talk on some funny things but I am really not the type of person who can share many stories. I do talk with them also but in a mild way. And I just hate it when they talk too loud or too boisterously.
Do you experiencing same with me sometimes? How do you deal with those people who is very opposite to your personality?

Grin and bare it. Try to be above their immaturity. Laugh it off. Don't take it too seriously - as you have better things to think about. Just be the bigger person. If you don't want to be noisy around them, then that's your decision, and they should respect that. You sound like you're pretty mature - and you shouldn't have to change your ways just because of them & their obnoxiousness. Just continue to do what you do, bite your tongue and bare it. Eventually they'll get the drift && hopefully stop bugging you.

well first off, if they are trying to get you to talk.. that means they like you.... I am a quiet person as well... however... if i get to know somoene I will talk their ears off... I guess i am just used to it because my mother which we still live together like roommates.. are both opposite. I rarely talk to people.. infact.. it makes me nervous to do so.. and she talks to everyone.. and it seems everyone knows here... and then i am left standing there... doing nothing... sometimes i hate it.. but then sometimes i wish i were more like her. you might try giving in a little.. find one of the others that you feel a bit more comfortable with.. and.. chat it up a little with them. if you cant handle it... then, I really am not sure what to say. everywhere i have worked.. it was similar to that.. but when i gave in and chatted with the people.. i found friends... maybe not people i would go hang out with outside of work.. but at least people that anytime you see each other.. its like.. wow.. its been awhile.. and truely are glad to see them... yep then theres those i just couldnt get along with.. but.. heck ignore them... not only will you be so distraut.. but you might even enjoy yourself a bit... give it a try
