The most common judgments when we see quiet people are shyness, socially awkward, poor communicator, and uncomfortable in a setting. More common judgments when we see quiet people are fatigue, experiencing a bad day, and feeling anti-social.
I share another perspective why people are quiet. I share another perspective why people avoid small talk. Please don't talk to me at the checkout line, waiting room, or getting a haircut. We're not anti-social. We have good communication skills. We're currently uninterested in the present subject. Quiet people are in deep thought. Their brains are thinking about work, family, schedules, tonight's meal, problems, and/or solutions. Priorities are priorities which must be completed. Sometimes priorities are urgent quiet people ignores surrounding communication. The timing to speak is bad.
Another perspective quiet people hide their faults. Everyone has secrets. There are secrets nobody knows. We keep our shortcomings ourselves for fear of embarrassment, ridicule, or criticism. Quiet people are observing. Hall Of Fame Baseball player Yogi Berra said the following, "You can learn a lot by observing." Quiet people have nothing to say. Plato said the following, "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something." Finally, quiet people can't talk because their mouth has Novocain from a tooth filling.
