He grew up as a quiet kid. People would always tell,

“Why don’t you talk?”

“Why is he so silent?”

And sometimes people would say,
“Those quiet people are not to be trusted, they are cunning”.

And he wondered. How can someone assume such a thing without knowing anything about the other person.

All he wanted is to be accepted as himself. Loved and cared. Whenever someone was in need, he was always there. Most of the time no questions asked. But it was difficult for others to read him. He was always a hard nut to crack.

Being silent doesn’t mean, he doesn’t like to talk or he is always an introvert. May be he just listens well. He cares and he loves. Most of the time without any boundaries.

More than talking a lot, he hates to repeat himself. Specially why he is such a quiet person. Even when he is hurt barely anyone notices unless he puts it into words may be. But then again he would like not to do that, cause he thinks he needs someone who would understand the changes. And act upon them. It may be not an easy task for another but that’s the point of caring or loving someone means. At least that’s how he likes to think.

Of course sometimes it can be a very lonely way to conduct your life but at least no one is gonna disappoint you. That’s how he thinks.

To be honest, he is happy listening to people. He loves that. That’s what most of others just don’t seem to understand.
He loves to see the excitement in people when they talk about their loved ones, dreams. How relieved they feel when they talk about their troubles and insecurities. May be and may be if it only fits, he will give you an advice. He will encourage you to be better. Also he will make sure that you know that he is really listening to you.

He knows that this is getting longer and a more confusing note. See, it is a difficult task to explain why you are so quiet. So if someone is curious, instead of asking why you are so quiet, talk about something, anything. Notice something about how he behaves. May be what he likes. He knows, this is not your usual way of communicating. But if you do this, if you really mean it too, you will find that he has more in common than you thought. And that he is not disengaged.

If you do this, you may even have a difficult time shutting him up!

Last but not least, when he loves, he will love you deeply and beyond your expectations. May be it feels difficult at first, but he will quietly work on how to make you happy and how to make your dreams come true. And even when there is a world of love in him to give to you, he only wants a little love in return.
