Quiet Friends

[ QUOTE ]
It's not how much you say, but what you say. Filling air is fun, but often unneccessary. The best conversations are ones where almost nothing needs to be said, yet everything is perfectly understood.

You're describing you and peachy, aren't you?

These kind of people like to sit back and observe.

This is definitely me, once I get to know people, or once I am drinking I am much more social. Around a group of my good friends I am among the most talkative, but around a group of strangers usually the quietest.

This is me as well, pretty quiet and dont put myself forward but one I know you or get 1 to 1 with you then much easier and better. The one liner is me as well.

Its an issue for me in a way cos I have to interview a lot being a contractor and it is my weakest point, even though in other contracts I have done training and UAT sessions in front of 30+ people wihout any problem.

Silence is power. Always say less than necessary.

This was me in High School. I think its a low self-esteem issue. You don't talk because you don't want to be judged. I loosened up after I stopped caring what people think of me.

The drug use loosened me up

Dear kids, I'm not endorsing drugs, but they worked for me.

Less is More.

I talk alot, but only with good friends. I find that when I'm getting to know someone, sitting back and just listening will tell you all you need to know.

Plus, if you can nail a joke or two, or meaningfully add a sentence or two to a conversation, people will be impressed by that.

I don't think it's a coincidence that I started being more social right around when I became a stoner. (Not one anymore though)
