Transcript
People hate quiet people because the quietest people in the room are usually the most introspective and intelligent. The most unintelligent people in the room are the people who don't shut up. To be a quiet person is to truly know what it feels like to be alone. A quiet adult was once a curious child who learned that listening is more important than speaking. Because when we listen, we learn everything we need to know and that bothers other people. Because in an ego driven society, there is nothing more mysterious than someone who doesn't take a perspective. You become unpredictable. No one knows what you're thinking and when people can't label you, you become a tier. And if you are a truly quiet person, you know what it feels like to be a target for your whole life. The scapegoat, the sensitive kid. There's nothing actually wrong with that even though everyone will make you feel like there is. It's actually your superpower.
