Actually, I think I figured out the real reason why I'm so quiet.
I think I'm slightly mentally retarded.
Or socially retarded.
'Cuz there's like this 5 second delay in my head when someone says something to me. When someone says or asks for something at my register, for instance, I always repeat it to them. Some say it would be for their benefit. But really, it's for mine. 'Cuz I need that time, as I'm repeating it, for it to register in my head.
"5 dollars on 7?"
It's like.. things won't stay in my head long enough if I don't reinforce it with something else. Does that make sense?
And I forget..
I forget so much..
Or maybe I just don't know how to listen anymore. There's too much of me blocking everyone else out.
