<p><br/></p><p>Being a quiet person doesn’t mean you’re proud or arrogant. Yet, some people assume that if you’re not loud or talkative, you think you’re better than others. This misunderstanding needs to be cleared up.</p><p><br/></p><p>First, being quiet is just how some people are. Everyone has a different personality. Some love to talk and be the center of attention, while others prefer to listen and speak only when they have something meaningful to say. Choosing to stay quiet doesn’t mean you’re looking down on anyone—it’s just your way of being comfortable.</p><p><br/></p><p>Second, society often values loudness. People who speak up, joke a lot, or dominate conversations are seen as confident or friendly. Quiet people can be seen as distant or stuck-up, but that’s unfair. Many quiet people are kind, thoughtful, and great listeners. They might be shy, or they might just enjoy observing instead of talking. That’s not pride—it’s their nature.</p><p><br/></p><p>Third, quiet people often get judged too quickly. If you don’t talk much, some assume you’re judging them or think you’re too good to join in. But being quiet doesn’t mean you’re judging anyone. You might be processing your thoughts, feeling unsure, or just enjoying the moment without needing to speak.</p><p><br/></p><p>Finally, pride is about actions, not silence. A proud person might brag, belittle others, or act superior, whether they’re loud or quiet. Silence alone doesn’t show pride—it’s just a personality trait. Judging someone for being quiet is like judging someone for being tall or short. It’s who they are, not a sign of arrogance.</p><p><br/></p><p>So, since when did being quiet mean you have pride? It doesn’t. Quiet people deserve to be understood, not misjudged. Let’s stop assuming and start appreciating people for who they are, whether they’re loud or soft-spoken.</p>

Thank you for reading and showing support. Feel free to leave a vote and a tip.♡
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Contributor Rankings
The Rankings/Leaderboard shows the Top 20 contributors and engagers on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis
— as well as the most active colleges (users attending/that attended those colleges)
The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on an all-time & monthly basis.
Below is a list of badges on TwoCents and their designations.
