How interesting! I've had someone, actually quite a few people in my life so far, say "You don't talk much.", or something to the effect of "Say something.". My reply is usually "I'm listening to what you have say." I find many people can't deal very well with someone that truly listens. I listen to and watch others to get a 'feel' of that person. I've found I can learn more about someone in 5 minutes of doing this than in a lifetime of asking someone questions. All I need to know, I learn by listening and watching.

"the sweetest sound to one's ears truly is the sound of their own name". This is something i have come to realize too, since i happen to be a listener too. Not because i choose to but because I really don't know what to say to the person standing in front of me. And so, I just listen them tell me how quiet i am.

I agree that Einstein is great. However everyman has to do his own. The gods make every man different. Believe me, even Einstein cannot do something you yourself can do.

Societies nowadays think that silent people are weirdo,shy,stupid,incapable,lack of things such as ideas,opinion,social skills and etc,of any negative aspects.

They emphasize on socializing skills which most of the people think that socializing is about speaking the most in conversation,giving a speech,donimating a conversation,and etc.

They never realized that those good 'socializers' tend to speak of many unneccessary and pointless things,and repeating words again and again on their conversation or speech.

They rarely try to understand or find out the core point of what they are talking about in their talking,thus causing many unnecessary misunderstanding
in self and others.

Above,is only my opinion on this topic.
