Quiet people often irritate those around them — especially those who are used to constant chatter and noise. However, behind their silence often lies not introversion, but high intelligence and developed thinking.

Smart people are usually observant and attentive to details: they analyze how someone speaks, reacts, and moves. They do not feel the need to fill pauses with chatter — they prefer to listen in order to understand.
Since childhood, many of them notice that they speak with their peers "in different languages." This often leads to misunderstandings and even aggression: intellectuals may be seen as arrogant, even though they simply do not strive to demonstrate their superiority.
Moreover, for a person who thinks deeply and broadly, conversations about trivial matters may seem meaningless. After all, for those who contemplate the laws of the universe, it is difficult to discuss everyday issues like being late for a bus.
This is why smart people often choose silence: not out of arrogance, but out of a desire not to waste energy on conversations that lack meaning.
