What are your personal feelings towards people who are the nontalkative, silent type.?

feel free to list your age, gender, sexual orientation, and even location if you'd like. 28/m/ohio here.

Answer:
I worry about them. Antisocial behavior isn't a good trait, they are hard to trust and tend to be loners.
It may not be the case with all non talkative silent types, but from my personal past, they are shifty and quite boring beings.

If it's genuine shyness, then my kind of people. If they're stuck up and just rude, then I don't like these people. 26/F/Idaho

Edit: Yeah right you try coming to NYC and not be assertive and people will walk all over you.
if ur silent u better be mysterious
if ur not mysterious then u better try becoming one
silent people r kind of awesome only if they r extremely hot
if not then they better be mysterious
Better than people who talk just to hear themselves speak.
I think they are smart and like to check people out before they get involved with them. Theres nothing wrong with observing your sorroundings and being cautious. 36/f
ii was am still shy 21/f/nyc... but people take iit as being rude...stuck up.. to good to talk and that was never the case when they got to know me and they woud te me how they thought i might be... nope just shy non talkative person.
I'm usually leery and intrigued by them. I either think they are hiding something or they are waiting for something. I know some people are shy or slow to open up, so I sit back and wait to see what the deal is. Typically, a person who is like this, when they talk, you had better listen. 34/f/Boston area
Well, son, I feel it is just this way; God gave us one mouth and two ears and that should tell us a bunch. People that are always talking do not learn much, they are just spreading saliva into our faces, our food, and everything around them. People that do not talk much are actually more intelligent because they are learning by using their two ears. In order to learn you must be listening, so that when you do say something it can be said in just a few words. It is a well known fact that when people are quiet they are planning many things in their minds, much as a master chess player plans his moves to win every time.KECK
The less people speak the more they absord, this being said, they could be introverted but these types generally are not into social gatherings. it all depends on the setting...
i have dealt with may that are quiet. I am a bit weary when I speak to them and it comes back as self centered.44/F/ ohio
well i like shy people they r easy to talk to and stff.
Because I'm not an extremely outgoing person, upon first meeting really shy people I try really hard to make them comfortable and to ask them questions and stuff. I am most outgoing around shy people.

Shy people kind of bother me cause you can't always tell what they're really feeling, but as long as they're comfortable I'm fine with them.

I believe those who are quiet are good listeners. They are observant, and take everything in to absorb. They don't make brash decisions. I believe some of them are just more careful, more apt to feel embarrassed, so they tend to talk less, and listen more.
You are describing me right now.
(But if I met someone the same as I...) I would be intrigued, but I wouldn't pester them to talk or anything.

I get the thought that they have been through something that affects them more or less, a secret about their life/family/etc...or something of the sort (well--that's me.)

Or maybe they're just plainly shy or just don't... well..TALK.
I don't want to disturb their personal thoughts and space--so I don't do much around them--maybe an occasional, brief 'hello' and that kind of thing.

But I know when people who are well-composed open their mouths to speak--it's worth listening to.

There isn't anything wrong with not talking--right?
Silent types are the ones who has something intelligent to say most of the time...
