Hi, I’m Nikk. I started with Quiet Connections in 2017 when it was just a little seed. I have seen it grow and have been involved in it as much as I can over this time by attending courses, groups, socials and coaching. Through all my time with Quiet Connections, I have grown myself from…
You can help if you have been a student at, or worked in any role within, a UK Secondary School. We’re researching quiet students’ experiences within UK secondary schools, with the aim of collecting enough data to better understand and raise awareness about the challenges that quiet students in schools face, with the intention of…
We know that meeting new people and going to new places as an introverted, shy or sensitive person can feel daunting. So often it feels like we need to try and push ourselves to match the louder, chattier people in the room to be able to form connections and let our voices be heard. But…
Quiet Connections is six years old! I thought it was just me –that I was weird, defective and didn’t fit in. For as long as I could remember, I’d been shy and struggled to talk to people or cope with attention. I hid myself away, expecting rejection, and keeping myself isolated in the ‘shy box’…
I’m a quiet person. Usually. I get quieter in groups. More so when people are new to me. And because of this, I’ve been misunderstood a lot in my life. I’ve been assumed to be rude, disinterested, stuck up, bitchy, and to dislike people, amongst other things. But that’s not me at all. I’ve always…
You might be wondering what to expect at one of our Quiet Meet Ups in Cornwall… We know what it’s like. Meeting new people and going to new places as an introverted, shy or sensitive person can feel daunting. So often it feels like we need to try and push ourselves to match the louder,…
Our volunteer Quiet Connectors have a very important role to play at our Meet Ups. Every interaction they have grows our quieteers’ sense of connection and belonging. Their friendliness, attentiveness, support and reassurance helps to create a positive experience for that person, while nurturing a connected community where we can all flourish. A Quiet Connector…
Do you love trying out new activities? Or do you feel a bit anxious about having a go at something new with other people? Perhaps it’s a bit of both, like me? In the last few months of 2022, I stretched my comfort zone by joining in sessions of laughing yoga, writing, costume life drawing…

Welcome to our messages of gratitude for December from Hayley and Stacie to Team Quiet. This month we’re focusing on gratitude for the part that everyone played in the Quieteers Christmas Celebration last Thursday. The event didn’t quite go to plan and there were things outside of all of our control that we hadn’t accounted…
Dear quieteers, You deserve an apology. We did not fully live up to our values at the Quieteers Christmas Celebration and we’re sorry. Our intention was to create a positive, safe, inclusive and connecting Meet Up – and we truly believed we had a plan to help everyone feel welcome and included. Whilst many of…
Welcome to the November Round Up. Thank you for the outpouring of love and gratitude and shining a light on the positives this month. I really appreciate every one of you. As we go through winter, let’s place our intention on connection, even though we might be busy or reaching out might feel hard. Please take this…
