Do you normally trust silent people or people who re too quiet. I generally don't, I know that they maybe good for keeping secrets since they never talk to begin with. But my mind just leads me to believe theirs some bad nasty shit going on under the surface with people who never talk much. Leads me to distrust em. I like people who can put a good conversation in person, not on paper. Though I shouldn't criticize since I used to be like one of those people, I'm glad I changed. But do you trust quiet people?

My cousin is very, very quiet. It makes me more talkative to try to draw her out and include her. People tend to forget she's there, so I will make a point to say, "cuz, what do you think" or "go grab cuz and lets do this". I guess I just don't want her to get left out. She likes me and tells other people she had a good time hanging out with me. I'm like wahhh? She never talked or laughed or anything....

Generally, with really quiet people though, I feel a little uncomfortable like I'm trying too hard. I suppose I sympathize with them because around new people or large groups I'm a little quiet.

Trust, though? I'd need to know them for a really long time. Have to measure each one individually. it really depends on the body language though.

Silence is never comfortable. I think it's enjoyable in the privacy of my own home. Though it's nice to have social contact outside, gives you less sense that people are against you. Besides, I've had a lot more better benefits from being social, trust me on that. It pays off. Oh Sag merc.

I don't think that has much to do with trust, personally. It's just because people who are very quiet are generally assholes. Very involved in their own world.

I can be like that at times for sure. Sometimes I like being quiet around new people just to see what they're made of - other times I get over myself and I'm more accommodating/will play ball and be social.

Mostly this. Sometimes I try to start convos and get ignored or shutdown with one word replies.

I don't distrust these people because I'm quiet too, and sort of know where their mind is.

I don't mind people who talk except the ones who are loud and competitive with their yakking. Say something worth while or stfu!
