Phew! I'm only guilty of #17. When I'm moody, everyone knows. Not because I'm a bitch or anything. Just because my face is very easy to read.
Thankfully, I'm not moody often.
I also get quiet when moody and wish people would stop asking me what's wrong.
The nickname thing-- haven't we all heard about how much Dubya loves to give nicknames to everyone?
It is hard with a quiet person.
Remember the movie, The Quiet Man? I once loved that movie.
Then I married one. Much as it would be hard for anyone here to imagine me as quiet, I have been thought of as quiet by many... but over the years I compensated or some such and am now babbling bubula. (See! It's Easy! You too can babble..)
It gets tricky sometimes between a quiet person who works out what to say before saying it, and another person, who learns what she is saying at approximately the same time you do. Hard for Babbles to know when ZZZZ is content, or in a brood, or thinking about intricate things not related to the relationship.
Hard for ZZZ to get Babbles to wait long enough, to not shut off real thinking with a word bath.
Hard for both to engage. Not impossible, and most verbal type opposites who stay together for any length of time work real communication out. But the low points can be dumbfounding.
Lots of things to learn on both sides of that one.
I don't need a check list to be annoying. I'm perfectly capable of doing it on my own.
I've never seen acquiunk to be annoying. Must be a passive aggressive editor...
