reserved
Contrary to the other definition, reserved is a characteristic of a person whom socializes sparingly.
It is shown not out of inability to converse or work with others, but instead permits them to be self-aware of whom, what, when, where, why and how they talk to people.
A reserved person may speak less in groups because they prefer to listen to what is being said, and who is saying it.
When they have formulated a contribution to a discussion, it's generally well thought out.
Reserved people garner the respect of their peers and do not seek to offend intentionally.
As opposed to an anti-social or asocial person, reserved people DO know how to talk to their peers and delight in interaction, although very brief.
This is not to be conflated with "socially awkward" or "socially retarded", or even "shy"; all of which stem from social anxiety, but hold some form of connection to being reserved.

rodserlingesque
In reference to Rod Serling, the creator and creepy narrator of the original Twilight Zone TV episodes from the '60s when an occurance or an event is so bizarre that it's similar to something that might happen in one of the episodes. Less shock and fright but more paranormal, spooky, that skin crawling feeling you get when your extremely piss-drunk uncle accidentally gets into bed with you.
"Your uncle climbed into bed with me last night."
" What? I beat him to death years ago when he tried to molest me... in that bed."
"A ghost?! OMG! How rodserlingesque! 'Cuz he sure seemed real to me when he... uh... he um... never mind."
