Person A: ‘I tried milking a few personal musings out of him as he was filling out his insurance form but I might as well have been
talking to a log of ice. Is he just naturally quite
introverted or is there something up with him?’
Person B: ‘no, he’s actually quite outgoing but he has a tendency to be quite taciturn around people who’s not that familiar with. He doesn’t do small-talk or say any more than he
absolutely has to around people he doesn’t know that well but he’s not especially-introverted, nor does he dislike you, per se (I doubt it). He probably just doesn’t care to get to know you better.’
