I rarely feel the need to repeat myself. If I believe something, why should I bother others by trying to convince them to listen to me?
This part I didn't understand...'Or, if I want to know that you really believe a thing I can tell because you never say it at all?'
It doesn't sound credible to me because it sounds like you are trying too hard to either convince yourself, or others.

It doesn't sound credible to me because it sounds like you are trying too hard to either convince yourself, or others.

This is a tip for you. If you ever get married (or if you are married) repeat one phrase often to make sure your spouse knows you believe it and haven't changed your mind. Don't let your pride that you shouldn't have to repeat yourself get in the way of your spouse's desire to hear it. The phrase is:

I love you.

Shalom.
