Top 10 Best Things About Being a Quiet Person
One of the advantages of growing up is the acceptance of being a quiet person. When you were a kid, you were shy and timid. Now you're quiet, introspective, and mysterious.Being quiet as you get older isn't seen as a handicap. In fact, it can be seen as a positive trait. This list contains ten of the good things about being a quiet person.
Maybe, maybe not. When you're not expected to participate in a conversation 50/50, it can be that much easier to check out. I'll be a great listener if you have something worthwhile to say.

"Fine", "Okay", "You too". If that's your usual modus operandi, then people aren't going to call you out or try to figure out what's wrong.
This really is a benefit. You don't have to conform to anyone's standards.
Honestly, it's 2019. Who makes a phone call without arranging it by text ahead of time anyway?
