Exactly. I used to be told "you don't say much" back then, but usually by people who talked and talked and never really said anything important. I prefer being quiet if I have nothing to say - both now and then.

I have a friend who stutters and feel sympathy for her, when she has trouble completing a sentence. I imagine most people feel the same for people who come off as shy or mumble. Personally, I think a little shyness is endearing.
