I found out I was really quiet. I never really thought of myself that way.
Apparently I’m really quiet. A bunch of people would be sitting around, talking and I’d just be there listening, not saying anything. I wouldn’t think much of it but then someone would say, “You’re so quiet.” My response is always, “I don’t really have anything to say.” It got me thinking. I really don’t ever have much to say. There are times that I do have a lot to say but often when I have a lot to say, I’m giving someone a piece of my mind. Not every time. Any time I think something, it automatically comes out of my mouth. I have absolutely no filters.
When I’m around a bunch of people I don’t know I really don’t say much unless they’re talking about a subject I know well. I guess in a way it’s kinda like feeling people out. One thing I really can’t stand is a non stop talker. I haven’t been around one of those in a few years. A few years ago, there was this chick that was fucking babbling non stop, about honestly I have no idea. All I kept thinking was “Shut the fuck up!” I swear I wanted to choke her just so it would be quiet.
Then someone would be talking to me and I wouldn’t say a lot back other than “Yeah.” or something. Because I honestly didn’t have anything to say back even though I listened to ever word said. I guess I like to feel people out before saying a lot. Even after I get a feel for people, I still may not talk a lot. I don’t really care what people think but I do to some extent. I just don’t want people to think just because I’m quiet around ya that I’m ignoring you or being a bitch. If I ignore you, I’ll act like you’re not in the room. If I’m a bitch to you, there’s no mistaking that. I just hope I’m not creepy quiet. ha! I think it’s safe to say I’m not creepy quiet unless I do that intentionally.
