Why are some very smart people so quiet: Their tell-tale signs!
Smart people not only like being quiet but also being alone. There are a lot of extremely intelligent people out there, but they simply don’t advertise the fact that they are smart. It comes natural to them, and they try to live their lives freely and without consciously drawing attention to themselves. You can call it modesty or plain old good manners, but these people tend to look and sound quite average, until they surprise you with a gem of wisdom. Here are some of the tell-tale signs that you might be one smart cookie, without appearing so.
- Smart people are better at observing than most people. Most of the time, you will find that this kind of people like to sit in a corner and just silently observe everything around them. Although they don’t express themselves, their brains are actually running at high speed, which is one of the reasons why smart people are so quiet.
- Smart people will often refrain from speaking if they are accessing a situation. They will take some time to think about what was said and prepare an adequate response, and they find silence better than pointless small talk.
- Smart people don't like to cause trouble. They know that they will be upset by unnecessary dilemmas brought about by dramatic events in life. They have enough of their own affairs, so they don't need to ask for extra trouble. Others can think as they please, and smart people feel that there is no need to be accepted by everyone and get involved in right and wrong.
- They do not need to and don’t want to prove their worth. When an individual is independent and powerful enough, he will be grateful for this little thing and be satisfied with everything he has, because this type of person can support himself without relying on others, and there is no need to prove to anyone.
- Although they are very cautious in dealing with people, they can clearly recognize who is their true friend. So smart people will maintain their circle well, and will not easily allow new friends to enter at will, unless someone is as amiable as them. Note that amiable means that they have common ideas and express the same ideas and values.
- The abilities of smart people are daunting. They don’t mind being alone, because they have a force that cannot be ignored. They are not afraid to tell the truth, and they won’t make excuses.
- Their thoughts and actions are often difficult to understand. Most geniuses are mavericks, because of the different cognitive dimensions and the limitations of experience horizons, so few people can truly understand and accept them.
- Smart people are focused on their goals. Sharing dreams and visions with people who don’t understand themselves can make them feel annoyed. So free communication is not in their world, and people always seem to feel that they seem to be nervous, but in fact they may just focus on their goals.
- Smart people always strive for perfection. This perfectionist mentality is applied to all aspects of life, from trying to look their best or working on being a great speaker or writer, to spending hours practicing their game. The way you conduct yourself is an excellent indicator of intelligence.
- Smart people try to learn all he or she can about topics that are directly related to their life or are interesting to them. Gathering information, learning new things and developing useful skills is a lifelong goal for highly intelligent people, and they will always have a way of keeping themselves busy.
- Smart people continually read up on a variety of subjects, follow a variety of blogs and find themselves frequently running to the Internet to look up answers to questions that pop into their head? They perform little experiments to see what happens, even if they’re as simple as mixing up the ingredients in a recipe? Smart people are naturally curious people. They are constantly formulating questions in their minds, and then seeking out the answers.
- Smart people are constantly occupied with tons of different projects. They always have a few projects that they are working on such as learning a language, reading about fixing things around the house, taking dancing lessons, working on some new recipes in the kitchen, or compiling a book on something that improves living. While a lot of people like to keep busy, a smart person will fill their free time with activities that help them improve in one way or another. Not all smart people are very productive, but it can be a good indicator of higher intellect.
- Smart people talk to themselves contrary to the assumption that those who talk to themselves have lost their marbles. In fact when your mind is constantly going, you often have problems, dialogue and ideas you are working through. The more intense that process is, the more likely you are to speak to yourself. Other odd signs of a genius are social anxiety, chronic worrier, night owl, daydreaming, self-critical.
- Smart people don’t blow their own horn or try to hijack the conversation or start long monologues. They will actually sit there quietly and listen to what you have to say, allowing for a few moments of silence here and there as they think things over. However, once they ask a question it really hits the spot. They actually give helpful advice or even get you to come to the right conclusions on your own. If your friends enjoy talking to you and tell you that you are a good listener, you are probably a good friend, and an intelligent one at that.
The above reasons might explain why some very smart people are so quiet, not afraid of being alone and always find something to do that they enjoy. Your interest to read it is an indication that you may be one of them. Wish you all the best.
