I hate when people tell me I'm quiet. Like, yeah. No shit. I know I'm quiet. I'm shy. I'm an introvert. I have trouble opening up when I'm just meeting people for the first time, especially if they all seem to know one another. So, instead of pointing out "Wow, you're quiet!" why not try to engage me in conversation? Ask me a question. I have opinions. I just need a nudge. Or a drink. Yeesh.
(Latest incident was yesterday, and I actually said all that, albeit much more nicely. In the end we exchanged phone numbers and talked about meeting up for a hike at some point.)
But seriously.
