90. Why Are You So Quiet?
If you’re someone who’s comfortable being quiet in the presence of others, you might have noticed that your tendency to remain quiet drives some people crazy. You probably know how annoying it is to find out that someone doesn’t like you simply because you don’t speak as much as they would like you to.
Well in this episode, I’m gonna share a few ideas that might help you understand the mentality of the people who feel the need to ask, “Why are you so quiet?” And hopefully, help the people asking this question to understand the quiet ones a bit more as well.

Loneliness has become a global issue. Many of us are often surrounded by people, and yet we often don’t feel connected to any of them. And contrary to what most people believe, this all started long before cell phones and social media were invented.
