Yes, I get this. Except for the fact that I am married (my wife's accomplishment, not mine), I am pretty-much thoroughly reclusive... by choice. So there's never anyone around for me to talk to except my wife. And I know she wishes I would talk more. But I make it a point not to talk any more than is necessary.

For one thing, my natural tendency is to be pretty negative & sarcastic. And when I make negative or sarcastic comments about things, such as the state of the world or some of our so-called "neighbors" (not about my wife... I draw the line there) my comments are often not appreciated. And, in addition, there's no point in talking about myself. For one thing there's a lot I would never talk about with anyone. And the stuff I might be willing to talk about... well... there's nothing anyone can do about any of it & they really don't want to hear it anyway. So what's the point? I just strive to keep my mouth shut to the greatest extent possible.
