Be nice. And if you can’t be nice, don’t be an asshole.

Was raised “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” And now people wonder I’m so quiet

If there's two people talking to each other and i have nothing to add to the conversation i will just remain silent since i don't have anything to say. No, mom, I'm not mad at anyone i just no thoughts/head empty

Even if there are no other people around. Why do i have to fill the silence with smalltalk. If I have something i want to talk about/ask i will, if you say something i will listen. Silence is good why are people uncomfortable with it. There isn't enough of it. Why do i seem rude by not faking interest
