“Why are you so quiet?”

Anybody on here ever get that question? I have multiple times. As a matter of fact my boss just asked me this yesterday. I replied with “I just am”. I figured my boss must’ve really wondered why i was always quiet around him or he just knew some loners dreaded that strange question. It didn’t make me feel uneasy or anything like that because I’ve been asked that question a million times before already. I don’t care to have a close relationship with my boss anyways so i didn’t care if that answer pleased him or not. I answered this way because such a simple question begged such a simple answer. It’s almost like asking why somebody laughs the way they laugh. It’s just the way they laugh. So if he was just trolling then lol and that’s that. Oh yeah and if he would’ve asked “why don’t you ever start conversations with me?” i would’ve replied “Well I’m not somebody who enjoys small talk and i don’t find your popsicle stick jokes or chuck norris jokes all that funny either. So there’s your answer. Oh and our interests and philosophies about life are almost completely different from each other’s” That’s what i felt like saying but personally i don’t feel like talking much when I’m busy working, not even with people i do get along with quite well.
