Slilent Observer

People assume because I don't say much in their presence, mainly because I don't know them, that I'm a quiet and shy person. However that's not the reason. I'm the kind of person who likes to sit back and observe my surroundings and study people/things so I can get a better understanding. A person can tell me a bunch of things about them, it can be true or false, but when I carefully observe a person through their actions and speech I start to pick up things about them which makes getting to know them more easier.
