Sometimes it could be quite piercing, and then I have this rush of feelings all over again, about being somewhat reclusive at school. Sometimes I'm quiet because I want to think to myself, or that I'd like to be able to read a book. I'm not exactly the right type of person to be talking a 1000 miles/kilometers an hour, although I'm not the kind of person to remain quiet the entire day. Sometimes I remain quiet because I'm scared of saying something that might offend someone about something I didn't know at the time. There are many reasons why I'm quiet in certain situations. Anyways, yeah, sometimes I hate it when someone asks that question, but sometimes it makes me feel as if I'm different, but it's the good type of different, since I know that you could learn more by listening and observing (and that requires being quiet sometimes), than by only talking and conversing.
