The Quiet & The Noisy

I am not sure what happen to the guys these days.

I have 4 different male friends telling me that they have quiet personalities during the weekend. It’s nothing wrong to be quiet. But I have a hard time accepting the statements they made.

“I can’t talk.”

“I don’t know how to talk.”

“I am afraid I may distort the actual meaning I intended to say.”

“I am not good in relating to people, I’m more of the quiet type.”

“I am tongue-tied.”

Just talk-lah. What’s so difficult to talk? If you don’t talk, I won’t understand what is in your mind. I don’t like making assumptions which will certainly lead to miscommunication later, speaking of the past experience.

If you don’t know what to talk, I’ll give you ideas by asking questions. But if you don’t know how to talk, at least say a few words.

Aren’t we all living in the world of dilemmas. Didn’t I just wish people can speak less sometimes than speaking non-sense without filtering? Words can either tear you down or built you up. We should all think before we say. :)

So quiet men, maybe we are just compatible. You’re listener, I’m a parrot. I accept your quietness and your silence. Would you accept me as who I am too?
