Sometimes people ask

They ask why I’m so quiet.
People also ask why I never talk about myself or my past.

There’s two different answers for two different questions.

I’m so quiet is because I’ve been told “shut up you talk too much” ever since I learned to talk.

The other one…most of me and my past is sad. A girlfriend when I was 19 told me “it’s hard to be around you when you’re sad all the time, and no one wants to hear that shit.” That day I shut my mouth for good unless someone asked.

Even then it was and still is a “how is your day? Good. Yours?” Cause I know no one cares.

I’ve even tested that at grocery stores. The cashier asks how and I and I’ll say “bad” and they’ll say “glad to hear it” and check me out.

Further making my[ point. No one cares.
