Hmmm... I see you all prefer to sit in your silent prison.
 Quoting: Travis Bickle


Most quiet people don't like to talk......
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28929359

It's not that I don't like to talk, I can't be bothered talking to people who don't get it. I can't be bothered with haters, who immediately start the name calling because their intellect is in the double digit range and they can't formulate a coherent response.

I don't consider my silence a prison. I've found it to be quite liberating. I choose what I say, and to whom I say it, very carefully.

There are some on this forum, including you Travis, that I will (and do) talk to. Most people though? Meh. Not worth the effort.
 Quoting: LaniJane



Yeah the name callers and the F U's - over nothing. Just a different opinion. I don't argue anymore, I simply go quiet and post a pic of a flower or something.

Mr. Bickle is a troll for those he thinks are his masters. The truth we, taxpayers are his employer. I propose that Mr. Bikle will placed in a life altering situation tomorrow or in the next few days. Your perspective will change. Do I want to be specific? Not certain. I will say that you are going to feel like dog shit if you take the time to look at the person and how they never had a chance.

What is the best way to feign interest in people, without losing focus?

I don't think there is a way without losing focus. Mostly, it's learning to nod appropriately :) :ohyeah:

Why am I silent?

Because sometimes the talkees won't shut up.

Because I don't want the judgemental idiots to have any more ammunition about me.

Because I'm bored with the subject but I'm trying to be polite by nodding at you.

Or maybe I just have nothing to say and feel more like listening. Why do people feel that everything has to be said out loud?

Good luck with your posting OP.

Not sure I understand.....You want people to vent or something?

The question is... "WHY are you silent?"

Re: 6 Misleading Assumptions You Make About Quiet People
Hey TB. Made another half-hearted attempt to "wake-up" one of my bretheren last night. I must say it didn't have the intended effect (could have been my tentative delivery based on previous experience), but it wasn't a lead balloon either. I try to get guys one-on-one, organically, not contrived to discuss "real" things. Most of the guys know I have different beliefs, but I have yet to encounter any hostility. I believe there is a pervasive thirst for knowledge, but most folks just have no clue where to begin tumbling down the rabbit hole...
