it's very hard after someone says "you're so quiet" or "you don't talk much" to suddenly think of a conversation topic... a few times in this thread "self awareness" was mentioned... I can't think of a better way to make a person self aware than point out the fact that he's not talking enough!

also, I often feel like what I'm thinking and feeling is too esoteric to share, but I know that can't be it entirely... there have been opportunities where the perfect witty quip came right to the tip of my tongue, but I wasn't "brave" enough to spit it out. Then the moment passed, and I felt really bad. After one of those incidents, it's difficult to say anything because you keep obsessing over the missed opportunity.

Ah, well.

Yea, being told "you don't talk much and why are you so quiet?" tends to get old real quick.

Not as old as "You have a baby face..." Literally every woman that I've ever talked to has ended up saying this to me; including girls at strip clubs and massage parlors.

I too unfortunately have the baby face problem, so much so that A girl I work with actually finds the need to pinch my cheeks when ever she sees me.

That's a kickass picture you there man.

people have thought I was 28 before.
probably cos I look so tired most of the time.

Wow, I thought I posted in this thread before but apparently not. I can kinda chuckle now, because even with the effort and progress I've made I STILL get the whole "You're quiet!" thing. Plus looking young. Damnit, I do talk you silly geese and I'm not some young teen guy. >=P
