Why chinese people are so shy, reserved, inert in talking (chatting)? Even if you are learning another language you almost never be innitiative in talking. Like you're waiting when interlocutor will talk and you prefer keep silence. But without talking you will never know another languageChinese people are used to worrying too much things that westerners never worry about. ======================= I see. Questions is: "What things"? :) Yes. You're friendly and polite. And so reserved :))For example: Garyee Yue. She is talkative, she gave the answer. She thanked. But she told no word about the suject of the question :)) i mean "reserved" not as untalkative. I mean chinese people can talk much and tell nothingthough sometimes you even don't talk much, preferring to wait initiative from another man
