Vignette from 17 October 2014

“If you’re stressed, have a chat, you don’t have to tell me what you’re stressed about,” my dad said, sitting on the table across from me.

“Ok,” I replied ,thinking about the fact I was being so taciturn. I was thinking about how I would express the fact I’m naturally this way, if that’s even true. I began brainstorming possibilities for how to express it: “I’m a reticent person, I’m an aloof person, I’m introverted.” I eventually decided to say nothing. I continued staring into the distance, spooning peas into my mouth.
