Taciturn GRE Vocabulary Flashcard

/ˈtæs.ɪ.tɜːn/ (adj)

talking little or silent by nature, reticent, reserved, quiet, shy, laconic, uncommunicative, introverted, withdrawn, mute, untalkative, dumb

Sometimes it’s easy to spot the introverts. In large groups, we “quiet and taciturn ones” can usually be found just listening and observing. We shun small talk and try to speak only when we feel we have something of real value to say. We’re probably not the friend or partner who’ll go to every party with you — but when you need someone to listen and really care, we’ll be there. We spend lots of time alone, get lost in big thoughts, and need a few extra beats to think before verbally responding.
