Arizona Hot:
I may not be an introvert. If someone said "You don't talk much" to me, I would reply "About what?".

I am an introvert, and it annoys me to no end when anyone says "you don't talk much."-nite_monkey (August 23, 2016, 03:27 AM)

If someone says that, or they tell me that I'm quiet, I see it as an attempt to get me to speak up, so I just smile and nod.

I agree with this cartoon, and here's a way to see if someone is worth cultivating...

Me: Ask me if I'm a policeman
Friend Who Should Know Better: Are you a policeman?
Me: No.
Friend Who Should Know Better: Uh?
Me: [Hysterical laughter]

I've met about seven people in three years who understand that, so my circle of acquaintances is not large.

One can't make judgements in a forum. :).

You would receive the statement, "never mind, just ask".

Please don't follow this to its conclusion.
