Interesting take on it, you are maybe loud but you also pause a lot, as to have time to think and you do think a lot, most of the time how to avoid hurting someone's feelings, here we are not that advanced (not yet so many ppl in therapy)
also, the attitude is to be cheerful as much as possible, here in Europe we just don't do it, the values are about being humble, not to brag... you guys re the perfect opposites, it is expected that you brag and if you don't something is off with you
so I guess being soft-spoken might be part of being polite
what throws me off is that manbun Anne Marie looks very much macho like, very manly, he works in that way and then he opens his mouth and I am in awe, and suddenly I hear old nice lady speaking
jmo, but...I think there are a lot of generalizations about us...yes...the thinking a lot...is more of an observation technique...however, i admit I am (and many I know) very rude and abrupt. If I hurt your feelings, I think you are weak and whiny. talk a lot...yes, but it’s a tactic...(work)...in getting info...nobody I deal with/know is ‘cheerful’..more impatient and brusque... the brag comment: men may brag more about themselves....women more so about their kids...
amaury is a smart cookie imo...notwithstanding his soft voice...and seemingly low key demeanor...
