Yes, silence can be a wonderful thing.

Well said, gg.
I'm an introvert as well, and I find find people who need to talk constantly tiresome. And even if not tiresome, then tireING, they just wear me out! Especially the constant chatter about TV shows and celebrities.
Even complete airheads seem to excel at gossiping.
And no, my silence does not mean that I'm mad at you. I once had a boyfriend who thought that my silence meant that something was bothering me. No! No! No! Sometimes you extraverts just don't "get it" about us.
chelle21689, I think that you got conditioned by 5+ years with your chatterbox ex to think that constant blathering is normal. Apparently for your new guy, it is not. I enjoy people like that.

Q: What did the one introvert say to the other?
A: Nothing, of course.
