I just act confused, because of course I am confused with why somebody would act such a question. Usually they're the type of people who get distracted easily, and if I wait a few seconds they'll just leave me alone because they moved on to a different person/question.

Q. why are you so quiet?

A. shrug shoulders,
i like being quiet
i have nothing to say
i just am
ive always been quiet
i dont know

or if the person is an a-hole and is baiting me then:
my mother told me if i have nothing nice to say i should say nothing at all.
why waste smart words on stupid people?
