“One of the risks of being quiet is that the other people can fill your silence with their own interpretation: You’re bored. You’re depressed. You’re shy. You’re stuck up. You’re judgemental. When others can’t read us, they write their own stories—not always one we choose or that’s true to who we are.”
~ from The Introvert’s Way: Living a Quiet Life in a Noisy World by Sophia Dembling
