I think most people think I do not want to talk. I suppose that is because I avoid eye contact, and I often bring a book with me. However, when I am approached, I smile and I know I don't look grumpy. Then again, I can never think of much to say with new people.

As for the phone, I get the sarcastic "You didn't answer the phone, there's a first". And things like that. I am forever telling people that I am shy and don't like using the phone. People really don't get it lol.
