An introvert talks more than an extrovert because when the mouth is closed, the mind is opened.

About This Quote

An introvert talks more than an extrovert because when the mouth is closed, the mind is opened. This quote comes from a famous Chinese philosopher Confucius. He wrote, “If a man fills his heart with hate and contempt for other men, then he will always have to be on guard against being deceived by other men.” The quote means that an introvert talks more than an extrovert because they don’t get as excited about things as the extroverts. In short, I can talk to my friend about something interesting all day long and she will be interested but I will only bore her.

However, if I try to get her excited about something she will always find a way to stay interested. To a small degree this also applies to extroverts who are more likely to be bored by the same topic.
