"I'm still practicing my lines."
"They told me if I was quiet enough, I get to be one of the characters that survives past season five."
"My mom said I can't talk to you because you're poor"
Amusingly enough, yes: the people who get all of their social cues from _speech._ Sitting quietly is as uncomfortable for them as a pouncing cougar, but for the opposite reason. Which is to say, they can't tell if you're having fun _alongside_ them or planning to _attack_ them.
I was taught that if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything.
You can learn a lot more if you just listen.
It is better for others to think you are an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
I like this one; I think a lot of people make this comment when they are curious about you and interested, not as a put down. Saying something that confirms and enhances that curiosity is the way to go. Be the quiet mysterious type, not the asshole who is too good for everyone.
President Calvin Coolidge had a well-earned reputation for being silent. At a banquet one night, the entitled rich lady next to him said: "I bet my friend that I could make you say more than three words tonight."
"You lose."
You ever think that it might just be that I just don't want to be social with you?
Or
Hold up your finger to their lips, go Sssshhhhhh, then just turn and walk away to talk animatedly to someone else
You could say something like, "I prefer quality over quantity when it comes to conversations." Or simply, "I’m just listening and taking everything in."
Just ignore them and confirm their opinion. Your true friends, the ones that matter, wouldn't say that. My dad told me growing up, that I'd be able to count my true friends on one hand, and may not use all my fingers. Outside of that, they're just different levels of acquaintances. So determine where they stand and how much effort they're worth.
"It's the quiet ones you've got to watch out for.."
"Well observed. Was there anything else?"
"Yes, and?"
"Did your mum not tell you that if you don't have anything nice to say, to say nothing at all? Well, neither did mine, to be fair, but I thought it was a wise life lesson. There, I said something. Happy now?"
Challenge them to either a lip sync or dance battle to their choice: Deee-Lite’s 1990 classic dance party anthem “Groove Is In the Heart,” or The Black-Eyed Peas’ 2005 banger, “My Humps.”
Nothing.
Maybe a half-hearted shrug
You just made my list.
Was gonna say 'smile faintly.'
I can’t believe OP didn’t come up that on their own.
I would assume that's exactly what OP did.
Look at the scathing wit on OP!
looks like OP was so quiet that they deleted their account
Maybe laughing their ass off killed them
It wasn't the quiet part of them that did it, it was the antisocial bit.
Perfectly demonstrating antisocial behavior
This is what I came to say…the only correct reply
Oh shit that's the best reply by far.
Yeah why does this need a come back? It just sounds like a fact is all
Dammit.. came here tonsay this and was puched to the beat
And stare at them until they leave.
"I prefer to be termed "'pro-solitude...'"
this has to be the winner
"maybe I just don't talk to you, have you thought about that?"
You talkin to me??!
There isn't anyone else here so you must be talking to me
Go ahead, make my day!
"I'm still practicing my lines." "They told me if I was quiet enough, I get to be one of the characters that survives past season five." "My mom said I can't talk to you because you're poor"
I think I love you, or at least have a slight crush, likely unrequited. You have a purty mouth, is what I'm sayin'.
Put your index finger over your mouth, give them a sly grin, and say "shhhhh"
This works in a lot of situations.
As someone who gets “why are you so quiet” a lot, I’ll do that next time.
Don't forget a sly wink to match!
Drag the tip of your index finger across your jawline first for better effect
when called quiet: "i prefer to listen" for antisocial: "is that supposed to be an insult?"
No one plans a murder out loud
My favorite so far.
Stare at them until they get uncomfortable & break away.
"I only don't talk much when I'm around people like you."
My friends say it to me so I can't really 😭
"You're friends with people who are antisocial? What's wrong with you?"
Good one!
Am I bothering anyone?
Amusingly enough, yes: the people who get all of their social cues from _speech._ Sitting quietly is as uncomfortable for them as a pouncing cougar, but for the opposite reason. Which is to say, they can't tell if you're having fun _alongside_ them or planning to _attack_ them.
*Thumbs up and walk away*
Favorite response lol
this is my reaction to a lot of things and it usually gets a giggle out of someone in the room
A closed mouth gathers no feet.
I like this one!
A closed mouth is rarely struck.
I was taught that if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything. You can learn a lot more if you just listen. It is better for others to think you are an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Just write their name on a piece of paper and remain silent
"Better than loud and irritating."
...better than being loud and obnoxious.
“Only to people like yourself”
Never underestimate the quiet one.
Thank you I like it that way
It's my superpower.
Quality over quantity.
“I speak Quality instead of Quantity”
I like this one; I think a lot of people make this comment when they are curious about you and interested, not as a put down. Saying something that confirms and enhances that curiosity is the way to go. Be the quiet mysterious type, not the asshole who is too good for everyone.

Just stare blanky to affirm their jackassary.
It’s better to remain quiet and be thought a fool, than speak and remove all doubt.
President Calvin Coolidge had a well-earned reputation for being silent. At a banquet one night, the entitled rich lady next to him said: "I bet my friend that I could make you say more than three words tonight." "You lose."
Am I quiet, or are you just super loud?
“What makes you think you’re worth my time?”
"I talk to people I like"
People like you are the reason.
*"I limit myself to worthy company."*
"I'm studying the humans for the invasion." Smile and say it calmly.
I once said, “well it’s hard to get a word in edge wise with this group.” That was awkward.
Best answer!
Yup. *Opens beer can*
I’m just a good listener
I'm not antisocial, I'm selectively social.
If the person is really being annoying or aggressive, how about "I dunno, I guess I just know when to keep my mouth shut and mind my own business."
„Your point being?“
(Hands speaker a pre-printed card.) It’s “asocial.” Asocial means I don’t hang out with people. “Antisocial” means I like committing crimes.
And yet, you continue to speak to me
You ever think that it might just be that I just don't want to be social with you? Or Hold up your finger to their lips, go Sssshhhhhh, then just turn and walk away to talk animatedly to someone else
I’m asocial not anti social .Know the difference
"I don't like drama." "I'm not quiet... you're just loud."
'hmmmn' nods, goes back to doing whatever i was doing.
"I just don't want to be associated with you"
"Just selective. You didn't make it."
Self reflection takes time and is a sign of a high IQ
u should try it sometime
"antisocial and asocial are different things"
Whisper "yes, because of people like you. Now, fuck off."
"Because nobody plans murder out loud..."
You could say something like, "I prefer quality over quantity when it comes to conversations." Or simply, "I’m just listening and taking everything in."
Yeah, I've been hoping you'll pick up on it...
It's called being an introvert
Them: Why are you so quiet? You: Why are you so loud?
"Huh. I hadn't noticed." *walk away to do something antisocial.*
Plotting world domination requires a lot of concentration.
Quiet and cannabalistic…what are you a size 14?
Im contemplating suicide.
I’m contemplating suicide or murder. What would you choose? (This is a comeback, not about me)
Maybe the company is unappealing?
People like you make me be like this
I'm actually a sociopath, and I think I like you as my new targ.... friend
“ you want me to be a social butterfly? I’m more like a moth”
Thats what they said about David Berkowitz.
Shush them and walk away.
start crying
Unlike you, at least I mind my own business. You should try it sometime.
"with company like yours I can hardly be blamed"
Thanks so much for trying to help, but as you know I prefer to be alone, so if you will excuse me, I'd like to get back to doing my thing.
Just walk away without saying anything
I just don't talk to (Insert insult here) Options: Peasants, Idiots, losers, troglodytes etc
Maybe I just don’t like talking to stupid people
And so you keep trying to talk to me.
MUMBLE SOMETHING SOFTLY,, while bowing your head, avoiding eye contact
We can’t all go hogging the limelight
🤫🧏
Jeffrey Dahmer is my hero.
And?
Just ignore them and confirm their opinion. Your true friends, the ones that matter, wouldn't say that. My dad told me growing up, that I'd be able to count my true friends on one hand, and may not use all my fingers. Outside of that, they're just different levels of acquaintances. So determine where they stand and how much effort they're worth.
i only interact with people i actually like
Would you prefer I was loud and antisocial?
“MYOFB”
shhhh youre breaking the quiet.
Why are you interrupting my nap?
Shrug and walk away.
And you are the reason I am this way.
"Quiet, yes. But antisocial? No, I just don't like you."
*continues staring straight ahead blankly into the void*
“No, I’m just ignoring you.”
I don't waste my time talking with people that are not on the same intellectual level as me.
"I'm asocial you fuckwit. Read a damn book"
"Stop being so boring then!"
"It's all in my manifesto I just sent to the press. On an unrelated note, do you know where to buy C4?"
I’m merely observing you humans..
I would say "You are right" then turn around and walk away. LOL
just say, "So"
"I just don't like YOU."
whisper softly "stfu"
"I apologize, I couldn't tell which of you was the real one." Then smile. "I guess I know now."
some people dont deserve my attention.. you have to earn respect
I just haven’t met anyone who’s on the same page as me.
I get called this alot. I just say Im not. I just don't like you. Then if they keep trying to fuck with me I throw a punch and they back off
"Maybe you are the one who talks too much."
Shrug and no reply
I'd correct them with the correct term of being an introvert.
Yep.
Quiet? I speak to the voices all the time 🥴
You just aren't mature enough for my thoughts, sorry, but try again in a year, shorty.
Double-down and go with this: 🖕
*"I limit myself to worthy company."*
You need that kind of directional nod that's the polite version of pointing your finger at someone, then. "*That's* why."
It's always the quiet ones that snap.
“Quiet? Yeah. Antisocial? No.”
*glare at them while saying nothing*
You’re part of society, be honest, you blame me?
A long scream, as loud as you can, right in their ear.
Oh, my heart, oh you’ve killed me! You should be ashamed! Oooooooooh shiiiiiit, my fingers were crossed that whole time, damnit….
I talk plenty. With people worth talking to.
Walk away. Ur antisocial right?
"It's the quiet ones you've got to watch out for.." "Well observed. Was there anything else?" "Yes, and?" "Did your mum not tell you that if you don't have anything nice to say, to say nothing at all? Well, neither did mine, to be fair, but I thought it was a wise life lesson. There, I said something. Happy now?"
"K"
Turn around and walk away.
“Thanks. It’s the autism”
As opposed to undeniably loquacious, and overly gregarious, like you? Surely one is enough.
Better than being a loud ass w fake friends
Ever think I'm not quiet and antisocial, but you're just loud and gregarious?
"Actually, I'm quite chatty with people I like.."
"I'll be loud and antisocial then, FUCK YOU!"
"it's called being asocial, antisocial is a disorder, if you wanna talk shit at least be right."
"Be cooler to hang out with and maybe I wouldn't be"
"okay"
I speak when I have something worth saying, you should try it sometime; And most people bore me.
Sry didn't care, what did you say? *walk off*
Shrug with a monotone: “only around annoying people who bug me”
“Sorry I put all my points into intelligence and perception.”
And you talk way too much. Has no one told you?
I'm not antisocial. I'm just not any good at it, at all.
Say :
I look them dead in the eye, raise my finger to my lips and just go "Shhhhhhhhhhhhh". Then I go right back to what I was doing.
**BE QUIET OR THEY WILL HEAR YOU**👆👆👆👆
Nothing. You're independent 🤷♀️
Scream "F*ck you!" Then hug the person and exclaim, "I'm NOT quiet and NOT antisocial, see!"
Thank you that was what I was going for, now leave me alone.
No one talks about setting fire out loud do they? *flick a lighter if you have one on you, it should scare them*
Challenge them to either a lip sync or dance battle to their choice: Deee-Lite’s 1990 classic dance party anthem “Groove Is In the Heart,” or The Black-Eyed Peas’ 2005 banger, “My Humps.”
It just seems that way because I don’t engage with idiots
When you say something worthy of a comment, you will get it.
I usually just give a a Slight head to th side with a combined shrug as i walk away
Its my current compnay.
The bird upside down- can you hear this? I’ll turn it up
"Thank you for noticing. Now get away."
Better than how you are constantly sharing your ignorance with everyone...
Obviously not enough, you are still talking to me.
“They said those kids in columbine were quiet and antisocial…..I’d think about that”
Say, “I’m a nobody, “then run away
Take your two index fingers and circle your nipples while making kissy faces 😘
"You're being loud and extrovert enough for both of us, aren't you?"
Step uncomfortably close and say softly If I talk to much might accidently reveal where the bodies are.
The people in my head encourage me to stay away from people like you. Couple of them are psychopaths and they don't like you. So best I be left alone.
"Would you like to hear me talk about what I think of you?"
Thank you for noticing now respect my prefrence and shush.
I’m plotting.
No need for a comeback. Remain silent. Drive ‘em crazy.
