somebody who is simply quiet Quiet people could be shy but on the other hand they may just be observing because they are unsure of you or others in your company they may be capable of being extrovert 性格外向的 and sociable but on some particular occasions they are quiet I have learnt from my experience that those who observe and listen more and talk less can gain a position of strength this means that
