I grew up very shy. But I also like to make jokes, or riff on things other people have said if the thought comes to me. This has led to: Me: "Well, maybe he should have minded his own chickens!" Jerk: "Ha ha! She said, "Minded his own chickens!" ...I know what I said. I was there. I'm STILL HERE in fact. I don't know which makes me feel smaller. The talking about me like I'm not there, the implied incredulity that I said something amusing, the awkward silence that follows the immediate repeating of a comment everyone already reacted to... It happens less often now that I'm more comfortable speaking in group settings and people aren't shocked whenever I open my mouth. But there's still people who do the "She said *repeats what I said.*" thing. Those people are real assholes.
