Silence is only frightening to people who are compulsively verbalizing. ~ William S. Boroughs

Hi My personal hobbies are reading, listening to music, and silence.

Don't underestimate me because I'm quiet, silence is a source of great strength. I know more than I say, think more than I speak and observe more than you know. Silence is beautiful, not awkward, I think the human tendency to be afraid of something beautiful is awkward.[Introverts] listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict but this must not be taken for weakness. Many have a horror for small talk, but enjoy deep discussions. My imagination functions much better when I don't have to speak to people Introverts dislike small talk, but we are fluent in the language of ideas and dreams, to be alone with my thoughts is as restorative as sleeping, as nourishing as eating. A wise man once said nothing. ~ Proverb, This is basically a lifestyle. Wise men, when in doubt whether to speak or to keep quiet, give themselves the benefit of the doubt, and remain silent whereas Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.

Better to keep quiet and let people think you're an idiot than speak up and confirm it talk much and they think you're a fool. Be silent and they become curious.. Never fail to know that if you are doing all the talking you are boring somebody the more you talk, the less people listen Shhh!!. So, if you are too tired to speak, sit next to me, because I, too, am fluent in silence. There is real comfort in being quiet your mind needs a diet of calm and quiet. Sometimes quiet people really do have a lot to say – they're just being careful about who they open up to, some people try to get you to vent and get angry because they don't comprehend your silence but if you don't understand my silence, how will you understand my words?

Study me as much as you like, you will never know me. For I differ a hundred ways from what you see me to be and If you know me you only know part of me. I am a universe full of secrets.

Us Introverts are word economists in a society suffering from verbal diarrhea.
