When a talkative person goes quiet, it's as though they're hearing the quiet person speak for the first time and are shocked listening to their voice. We are sometimes caught up in acts where we speak and people are surprised at the fact that we spoke because we were not supposed to. It sucks to be that one person who says something once in a while generating a hilarious reaction from the crowd. The fact that you are being noticed is pretty scary and at times hard to deal with. If you are asked a question every eye turns to you and you can almost feel it. You're not a lithe cat just observing everyone, people actually have their eyes on you.

When a talkative person goes quiet, it is usually because they've been worn down. Perhaps the ideas that they've been pushing to implement has been rejected and it seems like there is no way forward. Perhaps they've given up because fighting for change or a new vision because they just don't feel heard. Good people go quiet because they feel unheard, unappreciated or under-valued. It can take time for these emotions to build, but they generally start because of: Breach of Trust, Unapproachable Leaders, Just Not Listening, Lack of Vision, or Lack of Flexibility. Employees who are ignored, overlooked or go unrecognized become silent. They stop speaking out, stop driving the conversation, stop pushing for change. Good people who go quiet will, ultimately, vote with their feet and quit.

A talkative person becomes quite with you. What does it mean? I used to have a friend who suddenly became quite when he was with me. It was only with me, he would be the most talkative guy with others but when he will come to me, he will just become silent. He would also start to read a book, I noticed it. And when his other friends will call him, he will just go to them and start laughing. Then he wouldn't be reading the book or something. I asked him but he says he feels comfortable with me and I am his closest friend. But his body language says the different. Like why can his body language change from outgoing to reserved so quickly?
