Something I've become very aware of lately, as I journey through an abyss of self discovery: people are afraid of silence.
I find that odd, since I am very comfortable with silence.
Several people have told me, over the months since I have returned to Cincinnati, that I need to talk more. I know this is meant well, but it seems as though quietness is perceived to be a character flaw. Why is silence akward. I don't get it.
For a long time, I've wished I was more outgoing, more talkative. After all, that's "normal," right? Maybe. I don't know. But, for whatever reason, I'm the "strong silent" type. And, I think I'm going to start being okay with that. It's who I am.
