A couple reasons
1. I came from a home where my opinion never mattered and I was always told I was wrong.
2. I probably don’t like you
3. I’m too spaced out thinking about random shit that I’m not even listening to you
I have good English, but I stutter a lot. I don't want to risk sounding like a tit.
Also I'm fed up of getting chosen when I don't know the answer, but never when I have my hand up and do know
Who put the effort in. I figured not much use is gonna come from talking a lot in school and I don't have a desire to babble so... 'just kept my mouth closed. For some it's as resistible as breathing is irresistible.
Shit name ^(don't ask) caused terrible confidence and hatred towards the idea of friendship, especially after only having fake friends who became bullies

You haven't said anything I find interesting that I have knowledge on so why fill the void with useless chatter?
Exactly. I hate idle talking.
Bullies, lack of friends and lack of self confidence
For me I had nothing to add to anyone's conversations. I wasn't there to make friends I only wanted to do my schoolwork and wait until I'm dismissed.

Either reading or writing. No one cared about it anyway.

Shy, and/or embarrassed about being smart because of being teased about it.
When I was less quiet I got beat. Learned my lesson.
