1. They have nothing to say
I don’t know about you, but there are a lot of times when I find myself in a situation where I don’t understand what’s happening or people make jokes I don’t agree with. Instead of saying something bad, that can upset someone, I prefer to keep it quiet.
I am sure that this is the case with other people as well and I think it is a good option to not say anything when you don’t have to. In my opinion, it’s better to keep everything to yourself instead of saying something off-topic, offensive or improper.
2. Deep thinking
While extroverted people tend to give you a response in a couple of seconds, the quiet ones prefer to think more about their response. For example, if somebody makes an appealing comment, an introvert can think about its meaning several minutes.
They tend to take the comments different ways, giving it a different signification each time. Being quiet doesn’t mean that you don’t know what to say, but it means that you actually listened and you are thinking about what you heard.
Since they are good at listening, their comments will be thoughtful. They will say what they have to say at the right time, without interrupting the person who’s speaking.
3. They might overthink
It’s all good when you give an extra thought to what you want to say, until you are so caught up in your thoughts, you can’t escape. When you start thinking too much of something, you will end up feeling anxious and even stressed.
If you over-think when you are in the middle of a conversation, you can end up without saying a word.
Yes, thinking through, deeply and carefully is good, but not when you find yourself in a situation when you can’t come out of your own thoughts.
