Pendiam

I have been called pendiam even more frequently now.. and this got me thinking.

Is it true? Is it real?

Me? The person that my mom said will talk even in her sleep.. is pendiam now?

I still feel that I am not, but when I looked back at myself.. I reluctantly need to say it is true now.

Not because I don't have anything to say, but my experience taught me otherwise. The lesser I talked, the lower its chances that any of it will backfire to me in the future.

That is why I love to talk to stranger, under pseudonyms if possible. People that don't really know me. I feel free to talk with them as I feel they have fresh perspective on me, not influenced by my crazy self.

That is why I talk even less to the person that have known me since forever. Since I know they will still see me for the next 20 years, I have to carefully select my words.. and, after much filtration.. most of the time I will only talk about weather with them. Boring stuffs that will not implicate me in the future.

Why am I this paranoid? I don't even know what am I afraid of. 

Maybe, the scar of old trauma is deeper than what is visible.
