Hey...it happens. I’ve been married for 30 years and have had to explain to my wife on occasion that most people are uncomfortable with silence. I am not. I don’t eschew conversation, but I’ve been chided because occasionally I don’t join in. Well...50% of conversation is listening and if I have nothing to add or offer, I listen more.
True. I was an only child and spent a lot of time by myself. I prefer quiet, we are quiet people, and have pets that prefer quiet.
We talk plenty, but enjoy our quiet lifestyle.
