Read and there is an interesting question at the bottom, based on this story. Well, I think it is, but some say I’ve been wrong before.
Quiet. Introverted. Shy. Reserved. Private.
I am confident that someone has used each of these terms to describe me. They represent the most consistent way that others have summarized what I am like. People do this to you all the time, I bet.
For any person in my life or adjacent to it, it is obvious I am not boisterous, loud, outgoing, or talkative most of the time. Others like to quickly label us for their and not our benefit. This fact is probably common knowledge or should be.
