A talkative person in a mute body, I like that. It is how I feel literally all the time, but I too hide all of the time. A recent change in me decided that I dont really like people, most people lie, lie about who they are, who they like, what they like and the types of things they like in other people. I find we Re often portraying the opposite of ourselves, so you and I who feel like we can be talkative if we had the ability, actually hide inside and isolate ourselves, while someone who may be very outgoing and talkative and seemingly confident, may actually be insecure and frightened. But you see this appearance means a lot, for better or worse and with this drawn out comment, I want to offer advice; be who you are. Find out what it is. I have been meditating and generally looking into eastern philosophies and this idea of a self may be marred, may not be who you really are. Seek youraelf man, it's out there in the world, not in the confines of your house or even your mind. Your true self is constant, but experiences help define it more and bring it to the surface. A day will come where you will be talkative and have the opportunity to express it, but when that day comes, what will you say? You won't be afraid to stutter, you won't be afraid of yourself, you'll just be you, no more no less. It's good you wore a smile on your face, but ask yourself why and find the right answer, not the convenient, most apparent one. Good luck man, thanks for reading
