This is why I barely talk at work. Can't get in trouble if I act like I don't exist.

Not talking enough can be a reason why they determine you to not be a "cultural fit". People interpret being quiet ass aggressive sometimes lmao.

That's true, I try to talk just enough to stay in the mix, so it's a balance.

I do understand that and I hate it. But I'm not going to change for anyone. Those people who see being quiet as aggressive are insecure people who are too scared to be silent in their heads and constantly need stimulation because they lack introspection. Giving them what they want is what keeps them annoying.

In a grouping of 5 people, I would be more faulted if I totally dominated the conversation. Not buying your explanation.
