I have trouble saying things that I don’t really mean or believe. For example, I never would want to but even if I did I couldn’t suck up to people because of this. I’m a pretty bad liar. I try, but I suck at it because when I don’t believe it myself I have trouble trying to convey that I do anyway, even if it’s to convince someone else.
But I also have trouble saying things that I really truly mean, important things such as “I love you”, “thankyou” (in a bigger sense that just say someone holding the door open, if you know what I mean) and just things like that. When it’s really important, I somehow manage to get it out, or I write a note for them to read when I’m not there, but a lot of the time I just leave it. I probably shouldn’t. But for those who know me it’s ok because they understand, and I think they know that I love them and that I’m grateful for all that they do and I don’t have to say it.
I’m also like @daloon, though, in that I don’t like to talk about myself and my characteristics in a job interview or similar situation. Or even achievements. I find it terribly embarrassing and I feel like I’m so cocky.
But I guess you could say that I’m the silent type.
