So I guess, somewhat quiet. I can definitely get lost in my own head. Scary place!

Sorry. I had a moment. Honestly, you may be onto something... I used to be extremely shy and self-conscious. And then one day I just quit caring what strangers think of me. I do think that there are a lot of characteristics associated with quiet people that could also be associated with authors: shyness, sensitivity, introversion, introspection, perceptiveness, self-consciousness, feeling conspicuous, being cerebral, etc.

However, I still managed to write and publish three books so far, with more on the way. I guess that technically makes me a writer.
So while most writers might be quiet, I am not one of them!

At other times, I fluctuate between being very outgoing and fading into the background. I like to observe human nature and I'm an awful eavesdropper. I've gotten some good ideas for stories and characters that way. Sometimes these ideas for stories come from a more direct approach, such as starting conversations with strangers. That's when I fall into listening mode. You wouldn't believe the number of people who have spilled out their life stories in the time it takes to take the train to work.

I love making snarky comments on everything. But there may be a grain of truth to what you're writing. Writers tend to be deeper thinkers than most.
