They're external thinkers.

They choose their timing.

It appears they're also the people that are most likely to turn around and say, I don't have the answer to that.

Yep.

People who are truly confident...

There's also something about you just being the type of person that's willing to sit in silence, but also just take up more space and time.

That signals respect.

The very fact that you would have the audacity to say, someone asks me a question and I go, hmm, let me just think about that for a second.

It means that I'm not, you talked about rushing earlier.

I don't rush.

And there's something quite aura about that.

About the fact that you're the type of person that can just take seven seconds.

Because you are.

You're kind of stealing seven seconds from everyone there.

Right.

So that you can think.
