Unfortunatly being quiet has become a social taboo. "If you're quiet you must be shy, so you need to change" I have had the same problem all my life. You have to ask yourself what is making you uncomfortable, is it the being quiet or the pressure to be someone you're not.
If you're just a quiet person don't put on a show for everyone, it will come back to bite you later. As soon as you slip back to who are, quiet, everyone will think you're mad or depressed and it will be very hard to explain that the loud talkative you was a big act. Be yourself, you don't need to be uncomfortable with silence just because some people can't handle a little quiet.
