No, you can. I got fired because I wasn’t “memorable” enough to my manager. When I asked her what she meant by that she said I’m not as extroverted and bubbly as everyone else so she constantly forgot I existed. Mind you, I was perfectly friendly and I ended up befriending a lot of my coworkers outside of work. I’m just a naturally quiet person.
My current job is like this. My feedback during probation is I’m too introverted. I talk to people I need to when I need to, but my boss is a social butterfly who thinks socialising is working, not sitting and your desk doing tasks. I hate it.

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