4. They are evaluating what to say
One of the many benefits of being a quiet person is that you think before you speak. While everyone seem to say everything in a second, sometimes even harsh words, quiet people don’t rush.
They are thinking of the best answer, they take their time to digest the information they receive and give their full attention to those who are speaking.
This is also a benefit when somebody drives them crazy. Instead of saying something they might regret later, they take the extra second to think it through. In that time, they can drop the negative words.
5. Disapproval
Honestly, I present myself guilty when it comes to being quiet, but actually I’m disapproving something. Quiet people may observe something they don’t like and instead of saying it out loud, they prefer to keep it for themselves.
I think it’s better to find a way to say what you don’t agree with, but in a nice way, without being harsh and upsetting other people.
Takeaway
Before we jump to our conclusion, let me ask you something: are you a quiet person? And if yes, then do you find yourself in any of these situations above?
I think that sometimes it’s better to be quiet, so you can think about everything in peace. There’s nothing wrong with living in your own mind, because sometimes it’s a better place. But also, don’t forget to say what you think, because your words matter!
