I wonder though I can perceive someone else as being aloof or unfriendly. I mean that awkward feeling you get when you are at work or walking in the store or wherever and say “hi” and the person just looks at you. What come on I’m shy and quiet often, but I’m friendly since I always smile and say hi to most everyone. I do well often if the other person is chatty and talks effortlessly and this puts me at ease. When the other person is quiet and stoic too, it can often feel just awkward. As a kid we lived next door to a husband and wife who were very much opposites. The wife could talk on and on endlessly, and the husband was quiet and stoic. Maybe they were a good match, but it did seem, the wife talked a little too much when my sister babysat for her and was stuck listening to the wife talk on and on. Oh to talk and talk, yet often say so little. Then to speak a little, but say so much.

I can relate to this and have been called a weirdo just because I’m quiet.
