Is being quiet and shy a humiliating trait

Do people like those are quiet and shy? I am asking this because I by nature am quiet and very shy. I have hard time holding conversations as I don’t know what to talk about, and I usually go blank. O yeah I know I just don’t have a good sense of humor. That’s just how I am, but the problem is sometimes I feel terrible about myself that why am I not outgoing and a jolly person. I am afraid people won’t like me because of these traits. But then I think of changing myself, but I really can’t do it. So is it possible that people especially my inlaws will still like me if I am very quiet and reserved? Or should I start forcing myself to change?

I’m willing to bet some of the wittiest and most intelligent posters on this site are very quiet and shy in actual social settings. Less you speak the more you can hear. So yes, people including myself do like quiet and shy people - their thoughts are far more developed in general.
