Why are you so quiet? Why don't you talk much? Are you okay?

I've been quiet and reserved for most of my life. I can not remember exactly when it clicked in or if its just been there forever. I've thought about it and I'm sure a lot of those close to me think about it...what makes me so damn quiet? So here's an attempt at list that I will start and add to as time goes on.

- I do not like to ask stupid questions - most people like to ask questions just to make conversion, I only like to ask questions when I really want to hear the answer.
- I do not like to lie - It seems, at least to me, that most big talkers are also big liars. Half the crap coming out of their mouths is either lies or big exaggerations of what really happens. I keep it real and to the point.
- My mother named me Tim - So I took it upon myself to be Timid
- I'm an introvert - Most people think this is the same as being shy but they are wrong there's a good article here:

- Abraham Lincoln is my role model: He once said "'Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."
There are some times I think of something to say but quickly put in reserve.
I may add some later.. but yeah... now you know and do not have to ask.

Nice post, however,
In bullet 3 you say your Timid, which Webster defines as:
"lacking in courage or self-confidence"
Which sure sounds like the definition of shy.
However in bullet 4, you hint that you are not shy.
Hmm.
